Shorter Walks is a very sociable Group where new members are made welcome. Members receive an email a week before each walk with details of when and where to meet. We travel by public transport, usually within the Freedom Pass zones. In the summer we travel further for country walks. During the winter we keep to parks and towpaths to avoid muddy paths. We usually have a coffee break and often end with an optional group lunch. There are occasionally fairly steep slopes or steps to manage, and the odd stile, so a reasonable degree of fitness is helpful. Our walking pace is around 2½ mph. Please read our Guidelines for safe walking. Upcoming walks are listed below.
