We are a friendly and sociable group and new members and their pets are made very welcome.

Group members are encouraged to lead walks.

Please try to car share where possible as parking is often limited.

Please arrive promptly to start the walk. Walks will be communicated by e-mail and WhatsApp and be listed on this page.

Dogs themselves are not covered by u3a Public Liability Insurance (so any damage they may cause is the Owner’s responsibility).  Owners are advised to ensure their dogs have adequate insurance.

Currently, we offer two different walks. One for active dogs and one for sensitive dogs. Please contact us for further details.
