Anglo-German Walks
We walk and talk in German in the lovely area close to Watford i.e. The Chilterns, an area of natural beauty just a half hour by car from us. It was started in 2007 with just two members - one from Bushey u3a and one from our u3a as a novel way of practising our Germany. It now has 16 members from 10 different u3as dotted around the Chilterns. We use to walk all day (10-12 miles) but now stick to around 6 miles from a 9.30am start, parking (usually) in the car park at which we are going to have lunch at the end of the walk. Most of the members design and lead a walk and organise car sharing and coordinating with the pub. There is the possibility of adding some miles after the pub, but everyone seems to enjoy a longer stay in the pub chatting in English!
