Walking group for vision impaired

A new walking group for people who are vision impaired has begun walks from Fisherman's Wharf, Woy Woy.

The "Woy Walkers", supported by Vision Australia, meet every Saturday morning from 7.15am at the wharf for a 7.30am start.

The group walks northwards and returns at 8.30am.

"Those who have time have a coffee afterwards," recreational coordinator Ms Nathalie Gatt said.

"This successful activity has proven very enjoyable for all concerned.

"It is part of Vision Australia's latest initiative to provide those people who are blind or have low vision with access to and participation in a wider range of leisure activities.

Walkers and volunteers are welcome to join the group."
