We have a varied programme of walks in and around the Charnwood area led by our group members. These are Thursday morning walks of around 6 miles in length and may involve some uphill stretches as well as stiles.
If you are interested in a u3a walk it is best to first contact our Walking Groups Coordinator at WalkingGroups@charnwoodu3a.org.uk - they can then direct you to which of our walking groups is the most appropriate.
To walk with this group you must be able to walk 6 miles in the local countryside in just under 3 hours.
This group walks in all weathers unless it is deemed too dangerous (e.g. heavy rain, snow or even too hot). Details of the walks, including starting points, are sent to members of the group in advance.
It is advisable to wear sturdy walking boots and to have waterproofs plus, in the winter, warm clothing/hat/gloves. Please bring water and possibly a hot drink for our mid walk break.
