Please see below for the current Walking Programme.

Our Friday meetings often start at a pub and by arriving early we are usually able to use their facilities. Most walkers choose to stay for a lunch or just a snack after the walk. Around the halfway point on a walk we stop briefly for a 'banana break'.

Walks are planned and led by the group members ensuring a wide variety of locations. Help in planning walks is always available and new walk leaders are encouraged. Newly researched walks are welcome. Alternatively, a library with over fifty walks is available for group members to select.

We also organise an annual walking holiday, which is open to all group members and is based on a full board basis in one of the hotels operated by HF Holidays. Each day there is a selection of walks organised by group members providing a choice of terrain and distance. The next walking holiday, planned for September 2024, will be to The South Downs. It's a 5 day holiday and places can be booked with Louise Radford .

It is national u3a policy that dogs are not allowed on any u3a walks. Further details about this group is available by clicking on the 'Links' at the bottom of this page.
