THE THIRD AGE TRUST
Walking
The first group walks between three and five miles and we get together once a month. Details of the next meeting are given at each walk and repeated, at the monthly Members’ General Meeting, the week before the walk. The walks are organised, tested and led by volunteers from within the group. We are a sociable, friendly and enthusiastic group of strollers. Most of our walks are within 30 miles of Cheadle Hulme although we may travel a little further into the Peak District in summer.
Our intention is to get out into the open air and enjoy the physical activity of gentle walking, whatever the weather. We are fortunate in having such beautiful countryside so readily accessible, which also has such a variety of interest in its natural history, industrial archaeology and in its social history. The walking is non-strenuous even when we go into the hills. We usually finish up at a pub or tea room for those who choose to stay behind after the walk. Occasionally, in summer, we will suggest a picnic lunch.

Walkers
There are two walking groups and they regularly meet on the second and third Wednesdays in the month.
This second, smaller group, is intended for more experienced walkers wishing to undertake a slightly more strenuous walk of from five to seven miles and who do not mind travelling further afield to obtain a more varied choice of terrain.
Third-Wednesday walks are along published routes, but are not always walked out in advance by the organiser. Members pack a drink and sandwiches for a picnic lunch during the walk. Location and arrangements for the walks are notified by group email or by 'phoning the group leader.
Both the Second and Third Wednesday groups share transport to reduce the problems of parking and to make the activity accessible to all.
Having several good rambling clubs in the district to serve the needs of serious walkers, leaves both groups free to stroll at the pace of the slowest. Our walks are aimed at discovering as much as we can about the places we visit and to allow time to stand and stare and marvel at the beauty of our countryside.
Group contact telephone numbers are listed in the Newsletter.
