Our walking group is for the over 50s. Our walks take place on Wednesday mornings in the second and fourth weeks of each month for members in our catchment area of Flintshire, Wrexham and Denbighshire, hence our name NEW meaning North East Wales. Our walks are from four to six miles in duration and are graded difficult, moderate and easy.

We are a small group keen to walk the higher mountain land of Wales as well as coastal areas and nearby forests and woodlands. We walk on the second Sunday of each month when walks range over much of South Wales. You need not be a member to join a walk but if not you will be asked for a visitor's fee of £1. We hold an Annual General Meeting/social  at which we plan our walking programme for the year and also a Midsummer's Party.  We occasionally organise walking breaks of 3 or 4 nights  in the UK, the last of which was in Shropshire when the group stayed at HF Holidays' The Longmynd Hotel.
