Occasional Walkers

Status:Active, open to new members
Leader:
When: Various weekdays on an occasional basis

The aim of the group is to allow members to share short, accessible, ad hoc walks in and around Bristol. Members attending make their own way to the specified meeting point. Public transport options are provided in the invitation email/Whatsapp message.

Our main guiding principles are:

  • Short weekday walks (up to 3 miles/1½ hours), finishing at a café.
  • Accessible walks for u3a walkers who have difficulties with longer walks, rough ground or a faster pace.
  • Ad hoc notice via WhatsApp or email, often at relatively short notice. (Be aware that if you are in a WhatsApp group, all other members can see your phone number). 
  • Hard paths, not muddy fields and lanes.
  • Patience with slower walkers.
  • Social contact between members during and after walks.
