We are a friendly inclusive walking group, offering varied walks of max two miles, no stiles and as level terrain as possible, so as to include people with various levels of ability.
The aim is to allow members to maintain, or increase their level of activity through gentle exercise with an emphasis on social interaction. We usually end with a coffee or refreshment stop.
A programme of walks is produced from Sept to July and specific details prior to each walk. You are welcome to try us out
We are slightly different from the other walking groups in that we also have a group of slightly fitter individuals who accompany the group, to lead the way, keep everyone safe, and to allow people to walk at their own speed, or turn back if necessary. We try to have at least three leader/supporters on each walk.
We send out a programme of future walks twice a year, and a detailed description of each walk is sent to members shortly before the walk with an indication of the terrain and distance. The walk leader checks each walk in advance to make sure there are no new hazards or obstacles.
New members are always welcome. We also welcome more able-bodied u3a members who are willing to give up a couple of hours every few months to be our walk-leader/supporters.
Given the nature of the group, sadly, we cannot have dogs on walks, except, of course, guide and assistance dogs.
