If you have decided to do a bit more exercise this year then walking is a great way to start. U3a offers something for everyone, No Stiles if you'd like a shorter mostly level walk and after that keep improving! Walks are fun and sociable ending with coffee or a meal at a local pub or cafe. Today's Country Walkers enjoyed seeing the first signs of spring and hearing birdsong. We finished up with a delicious pie meal at The Weighbridge Inn , Nailsworth

The view when the walk was planned was fabulous, our selfie in the rain was the best we could do! If you'd like to try a walk which is around 4 miles with the occasional stile and some gentle climbs this is the group for you.
Join U3A for only £12 a year, it's easy to socialise, improve health learn a new skill or pop along to hear an interesting talk.
