Ashfield U3A Walking Group 'C' - Strollers













The Strollers Group holds its meetings on the second Wednesday of the month, with the walkers meeting at the starting point of the walk at 10:20 am and setting off on the walk at 10:30 am.

Walks will be gentle and between one-and-a half miles and two-and-a half miles, with the majority at two miles or less. The starting points of the walks will usually be within 9 miles of Kirkby Centre. All walks will have refreshments at the end.

When travelling in someone else's car, we suggest a donation of £3 to the driver to help offset fuel costs and maintenance.
