The Walking Group aims to foster happiness and friendship between members by virtue of a common interest in the healthy and enjoyable pursuit of walking. The Group organises a rolling programme of walks designed to appeal to walkers of all abilities.
The Group, in accordance with u3a principles, is inclusive of non-drivers. For insurance reasons, children are not allowed on any walks. We currently do not have dog-friendly walks.
The Group is keen to add to its membership and whether you are an experienced walker or simply seeking a leisurely stroll you are assured of a warm welcome. You are invited to participate in three walks totally free of charge before you are required to make a decision whether or not to join our happy throng. So please, why not give it a try?
Walking group members are asked to pay £1 a year to cover the purchase of first aid kits and walking guides.
