Photo - walkers on Route 66, Moriarty, New Mexico, USA
This group started early in 2023, planning to walk usually between 6-7.5 miles, at a reasonable pace.
We expect to walk close to 2.5mls per hour, depends on the number of walkers (larger numbers tend to walk more slowly) & terrain (is it hilly). We do take it easier where hills are involved.
The day / week of the walks will vary / be flexible, depending on the group member who is setting up the walk/s, also with the intention to accommodate different members' preferences re day/ week..
Most months we do the same walk on two days, usually around 10-18 on each walk. This enables us to accommodate a large group size (in late 2025, now over 60 signed up members).
Walks are mainly in the wider Wokingham Borough and adjoining areas, monthly. We may arrange occasional walks further afield from time to time.
Walking 4 is one of Wokingham u3a’s many successful groups. Several members lead the walks, we have a lovely friendly group of walkers. There is a small number of spaces for new members, please apply via the website.
Please note: These are more energetic walks. As well as the distance, there are often inclines / declines. Each walk is pre-planned, so we seek to keep hills to be manageable. Please contact convenors for more information.
