Convenors: Sylvia Moore and John Newton
If you have any enquiries about joining this group, please email salfordu3a@gmail.com marking the subject line of your email ‘FAO: Sylvia Moore and John Newton’.
Short Walks is a popular group that is sometimes at capacity for walking, so prospective members should contact the convenor first. The walks are in interesting areas and typically cover 3-4 miles usually on good paths and with some short moderate uphill climbs, nothing that a reasonably fit person couldn’t manage. We all take our time – no rush.
Normal venue and day/time: We meet on alternate Mondays at St Mark’s car park at 1.00 pm (if you have requested transport) or at the start of the walk with a view to commencing by 1.30 pm.
If you need transport to the start of the walk then please contact one of the convenors in advance so that they can arrange a car share for you (expenses will be shared based on pre-agreed formula).
