Distances

Our walks average around 6 miles, but may be up to 7. In winter we try and keep within about 30 minutes driving time from Carlisle

Walks are planned and led by group members. Details of each walk will be in the programme sent out by email to each member.

The programme may change according to factors such as the weather.

What to bring

Walkers should ensure that they have proper clothing and equipment, and that their level of fitness is adequate for the proposed walk. There will be a break for lunch, and other stops for drinks, points of interest, or simply to admire the view!

Bad weather may lead to cancellation of walks. This will be by email so please check before setting out, if the weather looks doubtful.

Disclaimer

Walks organised by U3A groups have public liability insurance cover, provided the walkers are U3A members. This is not personal accident insurance and participants are responsible for their own personal safety. We do not offer a “duty of care”, and group members walk at their own risk.
