Walks take place fortnightly, alternating between Mondays and Wednesdays. Starting times vary depending on the walk in question. Currently places on the walks need to be pre-booked.
We tend to walk between 6 and 9 miles and so will appeal to the more adventurous walkers within the u3a.
The group is currently full.
