Please note: The Walking Group does walks of 4-6 miles in length. For details of longer walks, please see Striders Group. For easier walks at a slow pace, for those who cannot manage the Walking Group walks, please see Strollers Group.
Note for New Members : Walks , including ‘Free for All’ walks, are for members of the Walking Group only.
If you would like to join the Walking Group, please talk to the Convenor at a U3A monthly meeting, or telephone the Convenor, and fill in our questionnaire. We can often arrange for you to come with other members for the first time, if you would like to. Our walks are on uneven and sometimes hilly ground and paths are often muddy, so proper footwear is essential. You should be used to walking at least 4 miles at a good pace. Suitable warm and waterproof clothing is necessary - we do not usually cancel in case of rain.
Members accept lifts and come on walks at their own risk and should be responsible for their own safety when crossing roads or climbing stiles and carry their own simple first-aid kit, water etc.
You can get a map showing the starting point of each walk by clicking on the grid references given.
