The leader will be at the meeting place whatever the weather and only cancel the walk in consultation with those who turn up on the day. All dogs must be kept under control at all times. Walking boots or strong shoes are recommended. Be prepared for bad weather by taking warm WATERPROOF clothing. Leaders act in a voluntary capacity. All ramblers walk at their own risk. The walk will be about 2 or 3 miles and not include stiles.
COVID
National U3A has issued guidelines to enable walking to take place safely. It is suggested that you read them before participating in any walks.

We are now able to stop at a cafe after walking with no restrictions but you may still need a facemask to enter the cafe.

Friday 19th November. Donisthorpe Picnic Area and Willesley Woods
It was a dry but overcast day when 8 walkers and Lily the dog went for a walk around Willesley Wooods starting from the Donisthorpe picnic area car park. The walk was about 1 3/4 miles around the outer rim but cutting back onto the gravel path. to avoid the muddier areas. We visited the memorial which still showed the wreaths from Remembrance Sunday. We admired the fence included into a tree and the metal tortoise. On completion of the walk we went to the newly opened Eden Cafe in Moira for drinks, all except Lily and her keeper Sandra.
