This is a new group aiming to offer walks of 2-3 miles in the local Chorley area. The walks will try to minimise any inclines, keep to tarmac or good tracks, avoid where possible any stiles and take in a cafe or pub either enroute or at the finish. For further details, please contact Gideon Thomas via the link above.
Walks organised by U3A groups automatically have public liability insurance cover, provided the walkers are U3A members. However this is not a personal accident insurance and all members must be aware that they walk at their own risk. The Ramblers Association has a guidance document available regarding equipment you should carry in your rucksack, this can be found on their website. search - ramblers.org kit list or click Get Your Boots On
