Next Walk:-

Thursday 10th September

We are meeting at 10.15am at the Cross Keys in Carleton

Hi AllOur next walk will be this Thursday 10th September.  We are meeting at 10.15am at the Cross Keys in Carleton as usual to sort out transport. The walk is a selection of the Hadrian’s Wall Path from Newtown, on the A6071 between Brampton and Longtown. Parking is in Newtown Road, Newtown(CA6 4PE). The walk is 4.37km (2.71ml) linear there and back with 24m total ascent and no stiles. Apart from the initial short road section, we will walk on footpaths to Oldwall before retracing our footsteps. Although there is some evidence of the wall, it is really a pleasant country walk through fields and meadows with wild flowers and assorted wild life.Lunch will be at the White Rabbit Tearoom, Brampton (CA8 1QY). This is a family run slightly quirky place with a garden centre attached. The Met Office forecast is for temperatures around 15° with a light breeze, 30% chance of rain. Just a reminder that we have a no dogs policy. If you wish to come on this outing, please let me know by Wednesday lunchtime.

David

Extract from the Convenor’s Handbook 

Members of U3A participate at their own risk.

• Walkers/members should be confident that the proposed route is well within their physical capabilities — even if the weather deteriorates.

• Walkers/members should be properly equipped, with suitable footwear, waterproofs and a picnic. A hot drink is a good idea in winter.

• The route will have been researched by the leader, but changes may need to be made on the day if weather conditions change.

 No one in the group has been trained as a leader or in first aid. In an emergency, help will be given to the best abilities of fellow members. Members should consider carrying a first aid kit for their own use.
