We intend to walk in the region of 7 to 10 miles each outing, depending on the terrain, and walks should last for around five hours, though this may be slightly shorter in winter or inclement weather or longer in summer. There will be one stop for a packed lunch, and we will sometimes finish at an appropriate pub or tea room. Walks are usually every 4 weeks on Tuesdays, with occasional 'challenge' walks which may be substantially longer, and/or more demanding. Walkers should be properly equipped, and are responsible for their own safety. Well behaved dogs are welcome, but must be kept on a short, non-extendable lead. They are the responsibility of their owner.

The U3A's insurance does not cover personal injury or accident except where there has been proven negligence on the part of the organisation. It is recommended walkers carry a record of any medical or contact details which may be useful in an emergency. Fellow walkers will hopefully try to be good Samaritans but neither they nor U3A can accept responsibility for actions taken or not taken.

The leader reserves the right to change publicised walks if necessary, particularly in the case of inclement weather,so always confirm your intention to attend.

Walkers who would like to join us should contact Judy Harrison.
