Walk & Talk 4 Men is a simple concept that gives men the opportunity to talk in a relaxed comfortable environment whilst taking in the beauty of the local countryside. The Nature Reserve at Little Paxton has become its adopted home, with most walks taking place there.
The St Neots group of Walk & Talk 4 Men was started by Little Paxton resident, Justin Leigh, back in March 2021 with a vision of a single monthly walk around the Heron Trail. Justin explained: “The group has been brought together to give men the opportunity to meet other men to walk in nature and talk about whatever is on their mind and listen to the experiences of other members of the group. The aim is to support men’s mental health and wellbeing.
Events are free to attend, and don’t require prior booking.
