Our walks complement the Walkers group where they do distances of 5 -7 miles. The Strollers walks are 3 -4 miles, stiles are kept to a minimum and terrain is not strenuous as many members have a variety of health issues and require something a bit easier. We usually adjourn to a public house or cafe after the walk for lunch and socialising. The walk usually starts at 10:30 am and we cover a variety of locations either in Shropshire or Powys.
