Winner Street Walkers is a Ramblers Wellbeing Walk & also part of Bay Walks, supported by TorbayCouncil and Active Devon. The walking group meets every Friday at 10:30 am at Gaia Coffee in Winner Street, Paignton, and sets out on a circular walk, which varies in length depending on the
ability of those who turn up, ranging from approximately 1 mile and mainly flat to a little over 2 miles with some short sloping sections, always on a path or pavement, making it accessible for all ages and abilities.

Louise told us:
“I live with Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis in my knees and feet and for over a decade I was taking prescribed opioids which are an extremely strong pain medication that over time made me much worse, you can learn more about my experience in a thirty-minute film from 2019. Since coming off those meds and learning about pain and activity management I wanted to share what id learned with others who might be like I was, so my wife Karen and I set up the walking group at Decoy Park in Newton Abbot, which has been running for three years now, and a year ago I started another from Gaia and EVERYONE is welcome to join” Whether you want to bring your children in a buggy, come with friends or meet new people, the Winner Street Walkers is the perfect opportunity to start becoming more active, get some fresh air, and explore your local community. After the walk, the group returns to Gaia for a FREE cuppa and a chat. Join us for a fun and friendly experience, as we take steps toward improving our mental and
physical well-being."
