Teesdale u3a

Please see Calendar for upcoming activities.

Walks will probably take 5 to 7 hours to complete so we are out for a full day.  Walks tend to average 10 miles in length so they may be a little more and they may be a little less.  It isn’t all heather bashing but, as the name suggests, from time to time do expect some rough country.

This is a cheerful group with members who are not just mile-bagging ground pounders. There is always a feature to see, a story to tell, a point of view to understand.

We walk in Teesdale and its adjacent dales but also go further afield, particularly when the days are longer.
