Filey & District

Friday Walking Group

Status:Active, open to new members
Group email: Friday Walking group
When: On Friday mornings
Every 2 weeks usually at 9am

The Group meet on alternate Fridays, usually at 9.00am, to go for a walk of between 4 and 6 miles, or thereabouts, aiming to last for about two hours. We do not plan in a coffee shop stop so we take a flask and snack with us and if I remember we will stop at about the half way point. We are not overly fit but the intention is to walk at a steady pace (approx 3 mph) for up to 2 hours. We are not accompanied by dogs as the walk is for us to get some exercise and not a dog walk.

Sometimes we walk from our meeting point on a circular walk in the Filey area and on other occasions we will carshare or take the bus to our starting point. We are generally back in Filey by 1.00pm.

Group members are advised by email of the arrangements for and nature of each walk.

Any U3A member is welcome to join us. We are usually a group of between 6 and 12 as members join us when they wish and are able to do so. Over the last 12 months we have walked from Whitby to Bridlington.

We recently completed the final section of the Wolds Way between West Knapton and Carr Naze.
