Kidderminster Stride and Stroll
An organised walking group dedicated to improving health and wellbeing across the Wyre Forest district. We offer a short walk on every Thursday and four different walks on every Saturday throughout the year. There are no subscriptions or costs of any kind other than the unavoidable cost of car parking and occasional charitable donations to organisations which allow us to park on their premises.

Five Old Men
Five old men walked down the lane, Through morning sun and gentle rain. Their steps were slow, their backs were bent, But every stride was time well spent. They spoke of jobs long left behind, Of first true loves and peace of mind. Of children grown, of friends now gone, Yet somehow, they still carried on. They laughed at things they’d laughed before. The same old tales, and maybe more. Each wrinkle held a thousand days, Each silence spoke in quiet ways. The road stretched out, both near and far, No need for speed, no need for car. For life, they’d learned, is not a race, It’s sharing miles at a steady pace. With thanks to ‘C’ group. Photograph by Nicola, Poem by Mark - July 18th 2026
