Bramhall U3A - Walking Group

Unless otherwise indicated by the Walk Leader, all walks will meet by 09.40 in the Car Park opposite St Michael's Church, Bramhall.

Because the walks will be limited to a maximum of 20 U3A members, booking through the Walk Leader is necessary.
Bookings will be taken in the 1 week 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:-

The Walking Group continues to be a success with our membership list holding at approximately 110. As with last year, we regularly walk with our maximum of 20 walkers.

Our total distance this year will be 120 miles and has included areas such as Bridgewater Canal, Lymm, Lindow Common, Chadkirk, Mam Tor, Shakerley Mere, Hayfield, Astbury Mere and many others. As with previous years, we have been privileged to enjoy the lovely scenery that abound in our area, together with the social element of our walks.

I would like to thank those members who have volunteered to lead walks in 2018, without whom I would not be able to arrange two walks a month and in particular during my absence due to my ankle injury.
