I've just been given a removeable walking boot to “calm down” my chronic post tib tendonitis. Any ideas for keeping fit?

I agree with Karin, especially since you wrote that one of your main reasons for walking was to promote weight loss and build bone. Strength training, especially weight bearing activities are known to build bone and prevent osteoporosis.
If you have some medical concerns, as in you have already been diagnosised with osteoporosis or have other prior injuries, you may want to seek out a qualified personal trainer to receive proper program development, to show you how to use various equipment that may be new to you and to demonstrate proper form.
Good luck in your recovery,
