Previous Walks:
JULY WALK 2022
Thank you to Alistair and Hugh for leading July’s Just Walking group on a very enjoyable ramble and chat through country lanes, open fields and wooded areas south west of Heathfield. We all enjoyed the variety of landscape and seeing the changes after last week’s hot spell - blackberries ripening in July!
JUNE WALK 2022
The Just Walking Group enjoyed a beautiful walk through meadows and woods SE of Heathfield. There was the added delight of wild orchid spotting and a very friendly shire horse enjoyed a lot of fuss!
MAY WALK 2022
The Just Walking group enjoyed a 6 mile ramble with lots of chat in welcome sunshine on the morning of the 26th May.
DISCLAIMER
Walking is one of the healthiest and safest of Outdoor Activities. However neither Heathfield and District U3A, nor the Walk Leader/Organiser of the walk/s has control of the environment of the walks, the weather, any animals or indeed of any of the walkers themselves, and whilst taking normal precautions, providing reasonable help and assistance as necessary, they cannot accept responsibility for any circumstances affecting the health or safety of the walkers in the party.
Walks organised by Heathfield and District U3A automatically receive Public Liability insurance cover, provided the leaders are U3A members, through the Third Age trust. This is designed to protect leaders against claims for damage to property and for injury or death which might have been occasioned on the walk. This is NOT a personal accident insurance and accordingly participants on walks are responsible for their own health and safety and the safe keeping of their equipment, clothing and belongings.
Participants on walks should follow the advice/instructions of the Walk Leader in order to minimise any risk to themselves and should also ensure that they do not endanger any others in the party. To help achieve a problem free walk U3A members may NOT bring children or dogs on these walks organised by Heathfield and District U3A. There may be another 'dog friendly' walking group however.
