We are a mixed group with couples as well as singles, but whether you are an experienced walker or just starting out you can be sure of a warm welcome.  All walks are on Sundays, meeting at 10.20 am at the starting point of the walk, setting off at 10.30 am.  Come with suitable clothing, footwear, a packed lunch and drinks, and where possible share transport.
If in doubt whether the walk will take place, or if you need more information about any of the walks, please contact the walk leader or a co-ordinator.
Walkers Please Note
All persons taking part in walks arranged by and led by the U3A Sunday Walking Group or a nominated walk leader should be in a fit state of health, adequately equipped, and must take every reasonable care to ensure their own safety.  The U3A Sunday Walking Group and walk leaders accept no liability for death, personal injury, or for any loss sustained, however caused during any walk.
The walks are over all types of terrain, therefore walkers should be prepared for stiles and rough ground as well as mud.  Remember that weather conditions can deteriorate very quickly with little or no warning particularly on high ground so be prepared.
