Our group (Walking for Exercise – Monday) meets near the children’s playground at Finn’s Reserve, Templestowe Lower, on Mondays before 9:00 am for an hour’s walk, returning at 10:00 am. This group regularly has about 12 participants, with different levels of walking pace to suit the individual.

We set off as soon as all are there. Once we cross the swing bridge, we choose whether to head left, ending at the back of the Rosanna golf course, or right, taking us more or less to follow the winding course of the river. Members can walk fast or slowly, chat or go solo, whatever takes their fancy on the day.

On the last walk of term, we usually head in another direction and end up at Melissa’s for a coffee. Most of us are in the photo. This is a lovely, relaxed and friendly group of U3A walkers.
