Our group welcomes people who enjoy a short walk with company, on easy terrain (no stiles).
All our walks are linear; everyone turns round after 30 mins so that people can walk at their own speed.
We generally try to find a cafe for those who wish to stay on for refreshments.
Sorry no dogs except guide and assistance dogs.
Our walks usually start at 11am but sometimes this changes so as to coordinate with bus times. Please check start times
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.
