OK, we  have our regular walkers who stride out for four or five miles, and take stiles at a leap, and we have our ‘Exploring London’ walkers who study the Capital’s architecture and history: But there is another set - ‘ the ‘Gentle Walkers’  This group is for the enjoyment of those who, for one reason or another, cannot walk for any distance, but who enjoy getting out in the fresh air in the company of friends.

 Five or six of this group recently began a gentle walk in Wendover – where there is free parking for the first hour. They strolled along the Heron Path admiring the clear stream, then diverted to circumvent the wild flower meadow and admire the waving blooms.  A short while later they entered the Church and had time to explore its treasures before continuing their circular path back to the Heron Path, arriving in the car park almost exactly an hour later.  A short drive to The Shoulder of Mutton followed by a light lunch – and a group of U3A friends had enjoyed a wonderful morning in the fresh air – at no financial cost!
