Walking Groups 1 & 3(3-4 & 5-6 miles)
The purpose of these groups is to enjoy the beautiful countryside in this part of Sussex, to take some healthy exercise and indulge in some stimulating conversation in the process. All our walks take place throughout East Sussex.
Short Walks take place monthly throughout the year, on the first Thursday and are around three miles in length. We meet at 10.00 am and have usually completed the walk by 12 noon, in time for coffee at a café or pub (optional).
Long Walks also take place monthly throughout the year, on the third Tuesday and are approximately five miles in length. We meet at 10.00 am and finish by 1.00 pm in time for lunch at a pub (optional).
Group members take it in turns in pairs to plan and then lead a walk, once they feel confident about doing so. Advice, guidance and support from within the group is made available to less experienced members.
Walking conditions may include muddy paths, stiles, livestock and other potential hazards, so suitable clothing, footwear and equipment and a reasonable level of fitness are necessary.
We encourage group members to share transport where possible, with a contribution for petrol costs offered to the driver in accordance with U3A policy. To email the group leaders please use the link on the right. Dogs are not allowed on our walks.
