About us

A warm welcome awaits all new members

The Group meets monthly, on a day arranged by the designated walk organiser, for a walk of about 6 to 9 miles.

Please note that dogs are not allowed on our walks due to past experiences.

Please also note that U3A insurance is basically in case we injure a third party or damage someone else's property; it does not include personal injury, so we walk at our own risk.

Mud is always a possibility on our walks; you are advised to wear boots.

Eventually members are expected to lead a walk
