NB: Both groups meet for Tuesday & Thursday walks at 9.30 a.m. at Settle Cricket Club Car Park, unless otherwise stated, to share lifts.

A “breakaway” group meets on the same Tuesday mornings at the same time as the other group. This is to do a short, easy, hopefully level (not too many stiles) walk! This is for those who are not as fit as they were. The walk will be decided on the day (how people feel, weather conditions etc), the idea is to keep walking. Anyone welcome, so long as they don't mind a slow potter. Please bring suggestions along for walks.

All walkers must be members of the U3A and should be aware that they walk at their own risk. All decisions regarding the viability of the walk rest with the leader.

Group members usually take drink/snack/lunch and may wish to visit a tea room/cafe/public house to partake of refreshment. It is the decision of each individual member whether they wish to avail themselves of this facility.

It is suggested that because of rising fuel costs, £1 per person be offered to the car driver for journeys taking up to half an hour and £2 for longer journeys (or more, at your discretion).
