A shout out to our friend and fantastic colleague, Hadley from Linking Hope
✨Monday Mention✨

Meet the brilliant Hadley!!

Hadley told us his story to encourage other young people to get into volunteering, and explained how he had equally benefitted from volunteering as well as being the one receiving support.

Hadley said ⬇
"Seeking peer support and clinical help shifted my mindset entirely, it’s not about trying to completely get over a traumatic life event or just wishing the intrusive thoughts would stop but instead learning to live with coping strategies that suited me personally which make day to day life a little bit easier".

Great turn out yesterday for Maggie’s Meet Up - Kirk Hallam 36 ladies took a stroll out around the local countryside, chatting and meeting new people.
We had a visit from ‘Live Life Better Derbyshire’ to chat to us about Healthier weight and we enjoyed tea and coffees back at the Cat and Fiddle.

Next walk is on Thursday 26th November 😊

Autumn has officially arrived, and with the weather changes there's so much to go out and explore.

At Walk Notts we love a walking Bingo card to keep walks fun and interactive. That’s why we have created an Autumn walking bingo card for you to enjoy!

Why not go out on a solo walk and see how many you can tick off or challenge a friend or family member to get a full house first.

Either way you’ll be out in the fresh air and moving your body.

🍁🍂🌰 Download the bingo card here: https://walknotts.org.uk/2026/09/29/download-your-walking-through-autumn-bingo-card-here/

From Goose Fair Gallop:

Most of the official race day photos are now uploaded and available via our website.
New for this year Oli, our amazing lead photographer has enabled you to search by bib number, give it a try! Please note that if your full bib number is obscured from view it will not work 📸
All our photos are free to download for your own personal use.
We are still waiting for some others to be finished and they will be added when available.
We are also in the process of uploading some content to our new YouTube channel, it's pretty bare currently though!
Link in the comments because, while our race photos are free, nothing is free on Facebook!🤣

The course starts and finishes on the stunning Bennerley Viaduct, also known as the Iron Giant. As stated on your entry, the course is not officially measured and so your results will not appear on sites such as Power of 10.
The relatively flat, 10k route is a looped course, well signposted and marshalled throughout.
A route map is available on the website.
A couple of small sections of the route are on an open road. While marshals will be alerting traffic, we do not have the right of way, so please follow marshal instructions, remain aware of motorists, and be considerate of other users of the route.
Conditions are uneven and vary underfoot, including gravel tracks, canal paths, unkept trails, as well as smooth pavements. Road shoes should suffice, but trail shoes may be advisable if it rains before the event. There are often some puddles on the course.
Water will be available around 5.7km mark and just after the finish. There will also be first aid support at the water station area should you need them.
Many parts of the route are quite narrow, so please ensure that you follow the signage and instructions from the marshals.
As much more of the route is on narrow canal paths we have made the decision to ban over-the-head style headphones from our event. Bone conductors are fine, and any earphones should be at an appropriate volume so that you are aware of people around you and the instructions of our safety marshals.
We do not have sole use of the route, so please be courteous to other people. In particular, there may be fast bikes approaching from behind, so always be aware of your surroundings.
As part of the course runs along the canal, the Canal and River Trust have asked us to remind runners about the risks. More information can be found on their website.
