Location
The location of the walks did not appear to be problematic for most participants in terms of accessibility. Most instructor-led walks were located close to the city-center and used community facilities as a meeting point. There was one instructor-led walking group that met directly in the city-center, with walks taking place in and around a large shopping center with good transportation links (bus, train) and a carpark. A few participants from this group commented on being self-conscious about undertaking warm-up/down activities in a city-center location and noted the unappealing nature of traffic noise and pollution, but average walk attendance for this group was high (13/18; 72%).
