SHORTER WALKS

When
We usually have two scheduled walks each month on varying days of the week, led by members of the group. We also have extra ‘pop-up’ walks from time to time. |
Where Some walks are fairly local,
others involve some travel.
|
We travel by public transport for up to
about 45 minutes from central London, but many of our walks
are much more local. In the summer months we walk further
afield with some longer country walks. During the winter we
have shorter ones, and tend to keep to parks and towpaths as
we try to avoid muddy paths. We always have a coffee break
during our walks and almost invariably end with an optional
group lunch.
We don’t tackle any real hills, but there can be occasional fairly steep slopes or flights of steps to manage, and the odd stile, so a reasonable degree of fitness is helpful.
Shorter Walks is a very sociable, friendly group where new members are made welcome. To join the group, please either drop me an email (address as above) or register through Beacon. Once you have joined the group, you will receive an email a week before each walk with a signup form and details of the forthcoming walk. Information about our future walks may also be found below.
If you are not a member of Islington U3A then you must firstly join this before joining any Group. Go to the Join Us page and there click on the Membership Form.
Our experience of running walks has suggested a few common-sense guidelines, to ensure everyone’s enjoyment and safety on our walks. You can see them here.
