Short Walks
A group of leaders are offering a serties of short walks each month.
The walk distances will be about 5 miles and they will start within a 15 mile range of Leighton Buzzard although many will be much nearer than that. Initially some walks will be on Sundays and some on Tuesdays when there no U3A walk.
Please Book In
We have a number of members who do not drive and also some who are uncomfortable driving a distance or to somewhere they don't know. In order to accommodate these we are asking that if you wish to you join a walk you contact the leader in advance. If you are willing to take a passenger please let the leader know so that someone who does not drive may join you for the trip to the start place.
Please note that there is no limiting of numbers on a walk.
