You must be a Member of Ealing u3a to take part in an Interest Group

The Midweek walks are coordinated by Sally Pickles and led by various interested walk leaders. This group offers walks of at least 6 miles on a Tuesday or Wednesday usually in the third week of each month generally starting at 10:00 or 10:30am. Details of each walk will be publicised a couple of weeks beforehand.

Please note that there is normally a limit of 14 people for each walk, so you need to reserve a place. If the limit is reached Sally will set up a waiting list in case of drop outs before the date of the walk.

These walks may be on varying terrain and in any part of the London area, with travel by public transport to and from the walk. Each walk will typically cover a distance of between 6 and 9 miles .

There is no limit on numbers for this Group and all Ealing U3A members are welcome to join the group. However, you must reserve a space on any walk with the convenor, and advise them if you are subsequently unable to join that walk, so your place can be offered to someone else. It would be helpful if you advise the Convenor of your mobile number so that you can be called if you are not at the rendezvous on time.
