Friends of the Harris Garden

'Normally has a day-walk on two Saturdays each month throughout the year. Various group members take turns to lead the walks. Most walks are between 8 and 12 miles long, with a pub lunch. Walks start within a 25 mile radius of Reading, an area which includes sections of the Thames Valley, Berkshire Downs, Chiltern Hills and North Downs ... We also walk Long Distance Walks in stages over two to four years.'

'We try to offer a number of walks of different lengths each month. Our year-round Sunday walks can be anything from half-day walks of 5 or 6 miles, up to full-day walks of 12 miles or more. There are usually at least two Sunday walks of different lengths each month. During Summer we also organise short evening walks during the week, generally ending at a local pub.'

'A friendly independent walking club which has been enjoying the local countryside for over 80 years.'

'Reading U3A are fully involved in the Historic Pathways Project being run by the Thames Valley U3A Network. The purpose of the Project is to research ancient routes and to create walks for the various walking groups of the Thames Valley U3A Network.'

'Wandering across some of England's most beautiful countryside the Kennet and Avon canal links England's Canals via the River Thames at Reading with the Bristol Channel. As the canal's name suggest it's partially a river navigation since it uses the River Kennet between Reading and Newbury and the River Avon between Bath and Bristol. The purely "canal" part of the waterway is 57 miles in length out of a total distance of 100.25 miles.'
