Poole u3a Walking Group
The walking group welcomes all Poole u3a members, and we have two walks each month on Thursday mornings. If you have a u3a class on Thursdays, you are still welcome to join the walks outside term times.
Each walk is led by a member of the Group and we particularly welcome new leaders, although we appreciate that some walkers prefer not to lead. We meet at the starting point of each walk, and car-sharing is encouraged. Suitable walking boots/shoes are essential as some areas can be muddy. There are two different lengths of walk:
Country Walks are between 4 and 6 miles in length, and start at 10am prompt. These walks may include the Purbeck Coast, North Dorset, or the New Forest, as well as more local areas. There will be the option of a pub lunch after the walk. The Country Walks are held on the 1st Thursday of every month, except for early January.
Country Strolls are between 3 and 4 miles in length, and start at 10.30am prompt. These walks will be fairly local to Poole, including locations such as Wareham Forest, Badbury Rings, Holt Heath, and Longham Lakes. There will be the option of a pub lunch after the walk. The Country Strolls are held on the 3rd Thursday of every month, except for late December.
If you wish to join the walks, please email [email protected] with your Poole u3a membership number, your name, your phone number, and the name and phone number of an emergency contact in case of illness or accident. You will then receive an email with full details a few days before each walk, and if you decide to join the walk, just turn up at the starting point.
For any further information about the Walking Group, please contact our Walks Coordinator, Alan Jowsey, tel. 01202 605515, or email [email protected].
