Walking With Dogs

Our walks are usually between 2 and 3 miles (1-2 hours), from locations within a 15 mile radius of Welshpool. at various local locations.

We have recently expanded the group’s remit to admit members who don’t have a dog to accompany them. The primary purpose of the group continues to be giving canine members the chance to socialise so a love of dogs remains essential.

We don't aim to set any walking records. For all walks, the priority is dog-friendly walks, preferably without stiles, livestock or other dog-hazards. Not an easy task in Mid Wales, but the dogs don't seem to care if we do repeat walks.

There isn’t a detailed programme as things are so weather-dependent. Information about the next walk is sent out about a week before with enough detail (hopefully) for folk to know what to expect.

It is up to group members to choose which walks they join - there is no expectation that you come to every one.

If you decide to join us, you will be asked to complete a disclaimer with your dog's details and your contact information.

Please contact the group leader if you have any queries.

For reasons of insurance you must be a member of the U3A to join our Dog Friendly Walking Group.
