WALKERS

‘Years ago one of the courses U3A did was walks called ‘Long Grass Whispers’, which evolved into the shortened Jeremy Watson’s ‘ Walks of East London’, looking at the architecture and history of our city. These days we are older, and it is no longer safe to walk in the streets. What response would we get if we ran with a monthly morning of one hour duration walking the following:  the Nahoon Point Nature Reserve; the Nahoon Estuary Reserve, two sections of the Ihlanza River; the new Hillcrest/Coad Rd field walk; or a visit to the Museum Garden of Indigenous Plants that not many of us know about.

I’m sure that if we put our heads together we could come up with more ideas. It is really about fellowship in our senior years.’
