Walking Group

The Walking Group meets every second Wednesday of the month. Our walks are about 5–7 miles long and we use public transport to get to them.

Thanks to the huge success of the Group, the leader Jane has reluctantly had to close the group's waiting list to new applicants. Unfortunately, the waiting list has been getting ever longer and we badly need more U3A members who would be willing to lead medium length walks. Are you a walker? Was one of your New Year's resolutions to walk more in 2012? Have you often thought how nice it would be to take some friends with you on your favourite walk? If you have, please take a little time to talk about it to Jane, leader of the Walking Group, or Janet, Groups Coordinator.
