This group is open to current members of Belper & District u3a.

We are a social walking group and members take turns in leading relatively gentle walks of around 3-4 miles (can be up to a maximum of 5 miles in easy conditions).

We aim to enjoy the scenery and each others company while we walk and at the end of the walks we may go for a drink together.

During the season, (April - September, when it is light enough to walk safely) the walks take place fortnightly (weather permitting) on Tuesday evenings, starting at 6pm and last for around 1.5 - 2 hours.

We organise a planning/social get together in February or March, to agree a programme of walks and walk leaders, ready for the start of the season, so if you would like to join us for the 2027 season please get in touch - especially if you know some good evening walks!

Our programme of walks for the 2026 season was affected at times by the extreme heat but our members guided us on some lovely walks at Heage, Middleton Top, Codnor Park Reservoir, Milford, Lower Hartshay, Belper, Denby Village and Holbrook. We learned lots of fascinating facts from the walk leaders about the places we visited along the way.

The 2026 season has now come to a close and we will be taking a break from walking until next season starts in April 2027.

We welcome new members during our closed season so if you are interested in joining this group please contact the group co-ordinator, by clicking on the blue link above.
