November - Oxley to Milawa Rail Trail

4/11/2021

"U3A's Easy Walks group enjoyed a lovely stroll from Oxley to Milawa, on the bike path on Wednesday 3 November. After lunch (some cheated & got theirs from the Milawa Bakery... the cauliflower pie is excellent) we headed for the Cheese Factory. Thanks to Wende for sorting out the car shuffle!" Andi Stevenson

And thank you Andi for the photos (what great photos of the group) and report you put on FB which we've posted here! Media team.

Easy Bushwalking

This is a group for those who have enjoyed 'Serious Bushwalking' in the past who now need to moderate their walks, but any member of U3A is welcome to join.

It is a very social group for anyone interested in exploring the amazing tracks, trails and lookouts within an easy to medium drive from Benalla.

Even though the occasional weather glitch has challenged us over the past few years, the group has enjoyed many memorable times exploring our local area.

Meeting on the first Wednesday of each month, the walks are limited to 8kms, generally on well-defined tracks, occasionally with a short easy climb.

The day's outing can include sites of historical or botanical interest and occasionally even a Winery!

Even though the walks are labelled Easy Walks, it is important that participants be able to walk at a reasonable pace and be able to keep up with the group. Sturdy shoes are essential! You will also need to carry a small daypack with lunch, drinks, hat, wet weather gear, etc as needed.

Ride sharing is usually available at a small cost: $5 or $10.
