For each walk information is provided in the event listing (below) about: the proposed route, distance, grading (Easy, Moderate or Challenging), conditions underfoot, etc.

1. You are advised to wear walking boots.
2. Waterproof jacket should be worn or carried.
3. Appropriate clothing to be worn e.g. light-weight walking clothing, fleeces, layers of clothing rather than bulky jackets.
4. What to bring? It is advised -some food, a drink, mobile phone and walking pole if required.
5. It is the policy of Washington Village U3A for dogs not to be allowed on walks.
