Poole u3a Walking Group
The walking group welcomes all Poole u3a members, and we have two Country Walks each month on Thursday mornings. The walks are on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays every month except late December and early January. If you have a u3a class on Thursdays, you are still welcome to join the walks outside term times.
Country Walks are between 4 and 6 miles in length, and usually start at 10.30am prompt. The walks may include the Purbeck Coast, North Dorset, or the New Forest, as well as more local areas such as Wareham Forest, Badbury Rings, and Holt Heath. There will be the option of a pub lunch after the walk.
Each walk is led by a member of the Group and we particularly welcome new leaders, although we appreciate that some walkers prefer not to lead. We meet at the starting point of each walk, and car-sharing is encouraged. Most starting points are not accessible by public transport. Suitable walking boots/shoes are essential as some areas can be muddy.
If you wish to join the Country Walks, please register online with Poole u3a and then select Country Walks 8 as one of your classes. Please ensure you also enter the name and phone number of an emergency contact, in case of illness or accident on a walk. You will then receive an email with full details of the next walk, about 4 or 5 days before each walk. If you decide to join the walk, just turn up at the starting point.
