| groups@bramhallu3a.org.uk with 'U3A Walking Enquiry' as the subject |
Because the walks will be limited to a maximum of 25 U3A members, booking through the Walk Leader is necessary.
Bookings will be taken in the 4 weeks previous to each walk.
Our aim is to take pleasure in the exercise, fresh air, local countryside and points of interest as well as meeting and enjoying the company of fellow walkers. Therefore the walks will not be a race from start to finish, but be undertaken at the pace of the slowest walker. Depending on the skills within the Groups, added interest will be gained from understanding the local flora and fauna, map reading, geology etc. Where possible, the walks will finish near a pub or tea room for those who wish to end the walk with refreshment.
Although some walks may be in the locality of Bramhall, transport will be necessary for the majority of walks. To be as ‘green’ as possible, car sharing is undertaken wherever possible.
Please note that each person walks at their own risk.
It is recommended that:-
everyone should wear sturdy footwear and waterproofs are worn/packed just in case.
sufficient water and food are packed in your rucksack
some items of first aid are included for blisters, bites etc.
Happy Walking
Report December 2011
The walking Group was set up with the simple aims of enjoying the exercise, the fresh air, the countryside and the company of fellow walkers. We walk on every second Thursday and fourth Wednesday of each month. We currently have 121 members, although not everyone has participated in a walk during the year. We have organised 19 walks during 2011 with various leaders, and locations differing from Poynton to the Tissington Trail which was a wild flower walk. Unfortunately, a couple of the walks have been cancelled due to a lack of walkers and our general attendance is on the low side. It would be fair to say that those who have participated have enjoyed the walks and have seen parts of the locality that they may have not visited before.
A sponsored walk was undertaken by Mike Hayward and Bob Dumbarton in July and the £400 raised was donated and shared between our two charities.
