The aim is to enjoy the countryside, fresh air and exercise at a leisurely pace, then socialize over a meal and drink. Each walk starts at a different pub where members order their lunch and change into walking gear before setting out on a circular walk of up to four miles. Walks are taken at a pace that allows members of average fitness to complete them.

If you have any medical conditions that could affect you on a walk, please make the leader aware.

Lunch is usually served at about 1pm.

Walkers may be able to share transport and we would recommend that 20p per mile divided by the number of people in the car is paid (i.e 30 miles round trip with 4 people in a car = 30×20/4 = £1.50) towards the cost of petrol, please note, transport cannot be guaranteed.

Anyone participating in U3A activities does so at their own risk and is not covered by personal accident insurance.

Members receive the list of venues in September for the start of the year.
