Activities
Walking Group
Contact: Joanna at walkers@anglopaupyr.org
We walk on Monday mornings, usually for 2-3 hours. Most starting points are within a 1-hour drive from Pau, in all directions. From time to time we do a longer walk or travel further afield for something a little different. New members welcome – why not join us for a walk sometime soon.
Pyrenean Plodders
Contact: Rob via walkers@anglopaupyr.org
This group tackles more challanging hikes further from Pau. The elevation change and the distance covered is much more on than the outings of the Monday walkers.
Talkie Walkies
Contact: Greg via walkers@anglopaupyr.org
Every Thursday morning - a flat walk of about 2 hours starting close to Pau. Open to all. Lots of chat!
Board Games, Anyone!
Contact: Joanna at walkers@anglopaupyr.org
Meeting weekly, this group has fun trying out new games and revisiting favourites. All are welcome and no experience is needed.
Book Group
Contact: Claire at bookgroup@anglopaupyr.org
Meets once a month to discuss a book read by all members during the previous month. Meetings are generally held in the evenings from 19:30, although once or twice a year, they are held on a weekend afternoon at the home of members who live a distance away. The host usually provides a few drinks and nibbles making it a jolly social occasion.
