Teesdale u3a

Please see Calendar for upcoming activities.

The walks usually take place in Teesdale, and occasionally in Weardale and the Yorkshire Dales. They are a great way to enjoy stunning scenery as well as coming across places of historic interest, birds, flora and geology - all in good company.

This group was set up in response to members who felt that the distance usually covered by the Fellwalking Group was too far and 4 to 6 miles was not far enough. In other words, it was just right and hence became known as the 'Goldilocks' group.

The walks will probably take between 3 and 4 hours and include a stop to eat your lunch. It is important that walkers are appropriately attired, have waterproofs, drink/snack/lunch, and wear substantial footwear.

It is regretted that no dogs are allowed.

Please leave an emergency telephone contact number with the leader.

Third Age Trust guidance for pre-walk planning recommends that any walker with underlying health conditions should, for their own safety, consider carefully what medical details to bring with them.
