Southport

Walking

There are 5 Walking groups. We all know that we need to do more exercise and all medical advice recommends walking for people of our age as the best form of exercise. Southport U3A has a whole variety of walking groups to suit all levels of fitness, from very gentle exercise through to walking the fells. So look at the descriptions on each group and get your name down with the Group Leaders to join the group you fancy, depending on how strenuous you want to make it!

WALKING (SHORT WALKS 1)

Our walks, which are always reasonably local, are on mixed terrain but nothing too challenging and are four to five miles in length, with an average pace of 2.5 miles per hour.

A monthly walk of about 4 miles making use of your travel pass. This group walks all year round so no complaints about having nothing to do in the winter.

Travel is by Public Transport so bring your travel pass!

WALKING (SHORT WALKS 2)

Starting and finishing locations are accessible by train or bus – details given a few days before each walk. Walks are about 3-5 miles and will end at a location where refreshments can be had, if desired.

WALKING 3

This Group is for members who like a brisk walk in the local countryside of about 7 to 10 miles. Our walks are varied, along river or canal banks, across fields, well marked paths and the occasional hillside. We walk throughout the year, regardless of the weather within an approximate 30 mile radius of Southport.

WALKING 4

We walk at least 3 times a month. Walks vary between 6 and 10 miles and are in Lancashire, Cheshire or the South Lake.
