Future programme

Activity

Circa 5 mile walks - We are a happy band of 40plus members who enjoy the pleasure of each other's company whilst also enjoying the ever-changing English countryside and walking around about 5 miles in about 2½ hours every fortnight, usually starting at 10.15am.
Boots with a good grip must be worn and waterproofs should be to hand if needed. Soft drinks and light refreshments (bring your own) are usually taken after about 90mins.
At the end of each walk, many of us enjoy a social chat, drink and/or lunch in a nearby pub. Some of our group are CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) members and like to make the pub visits memorable occasions.

New members are always wanted and welcome to come along and try walking with us for free. As a member of any U3A, not just AshU3a, the rambling group fee is currently only £2 for a whole year, that's less than 8 pence per walk - what a bargain!

Regrets - Sorry but No Dogs on walks, as these may involve stiles and we sometimes traverse fields containing animals.

Longer Walks - In addition, several of our most active members also enjoy an all-day outing most months, walking around 10 miles, often enjoying mid distance refreshments, in the form of a picnic stop, deep in the picturesque countryside.
These do not clash with the ~5 mile walks above but are intended to complement them.

Please note - Robin has advised us that he needs volunteers to lead the long walks in the new year; there are no confirmed offers after the pre-Christmas London outing!
