Walking under five miles
We walk on every Monday morning. One week our walks are 1.5 miles at a leisurely pace and the next week will be a longer walk of about 4 miles at a moderate pace. Once every 3 months or so we have a "special" activity that is generally a bit further afield and takes a bit longer than our normal walks.
Our short walks most often start at School Lane car park near the kiosk and our longer walks start at various places in and around Thetford. See the "Events" listings for full details.
We enjoy exploring the countryside and history that surrounds us on our walks and take plenty of stops to have a good look around on our walks.
All the members of the group have the opportunity to feed their ideas into our programme and we encourage all group members to lead the walks in line with the u3a self help ethos.
Please come and join us on Monday Mornings! We look forward to meeting you!
