Short Walks

Posted on February 21, 2012 by U3A Webmaster

February’s walk around Sherwood Forest being the groups first walk of the year proved to be an interesting venture for the 28 members of our group.
Starting from the Cricket ground car park we walked via the visitor centre to the forest grazing area were several members paused to observe the bird wildlife,
we returned to the visitor centre via the Major Oak for well earned refreshments.

Our March Walk around Selston will be lead by John and Sue Tedstone starting from the Hole In the Wall Carvery car park at 10am.
