Sunday Strollers June walk.
14 members of the Sunday walking group completed a 5 mile walk from Hightown to Freshfield today (26thJune). Everyone agreed it had been a great leisurely walk. The leader John McKenzie tries to find walks that are:
- about 5 miles long
- on the flat
- finish at a nice pub for lunch
- that gives people the opportunity to cut short the walk, if 5 miles is to long for them.
Today’s walk ticked all these boxes. One other member joined us for lunch after completing a mile walk to get to pub and a mile back to the station, a total of 2 miles. Well done Roberta!!!
The groups next walk will be on 24th July, meeting at Maghull Station at 10.50. The route to be advised at a later date. John would love to hear from anyone who knows of walks that fit the above criteria.
Table games
Their will be no Table Games group meeting next Monday 27th June.
Normal service should be resumed on July 4th. and
our last meeting before the Summer break will be July 25th
Sorry for any inconvenience – Phil
