You are warned, do not watch if afraid of heights.

Welcome to the U3A Norwich Monday Long Distance Walkers Group WEB site.  We walk fortnightly on a Monday.  Most of the year the group walk long distance paths but during the winter months and shorter days they walk circular routes.  Each walk covers about 8 to 10 miles in about four to four and a half hours.  Routes previously walked include Wherryman’s Way, North Norfolk Coastal path, Marriotts Way, Bigod Way and Bure Valley. For more info. phone Esme Staniforth ( group organiser) on 01508 537193'.
