The walking group is there to provide a social environment in which members can get a little exercise and explore the local area.
We meet once a month, on the third Friday, at different meeting points but generally at 10am. We usually travel to a start point for the walk and will have a coffee before we proceed to follow our route. Generally the walk is around two hours in duration including a stop for lunch and people bring a packed lunch.
The walks are often gentle and leisurely to cater for all abilities. We finish at a point close to transport links. Everyone is welcome! We usually have between 8 and 10 people and there is no need for joining, as long as you are a u3a member just sign up at the meeting or contact Rob W .
Group news
For those who feel that 3-4 miles walking is too short there is a new Long Walks group.
Walks in April, May, June 2026
There will be three walks, all dependent on favourable weather. These will be the usual leisurely walks of between 3-5 miles, but usually closer to 3. The walks often feature exit points where people may leave and find public transport. Walkers walk at their own risk, and we generally stop and eat, so please bring a packed lunch. Sensible walking shoes are essential.
