Thursday July 6th saw the group walking Moel Famau from Cilcain. Leaving the Baptist Church car park around 9.30 we made very good time via Runcorn and the M56 to arrive in Cilcain car park at 10.50.
It was already warm as we left the village in bright sunshine and took the bridle path ascent. Lunch at the summit and and a sit in the sun before descending via the steeper ‘stairs’ got us back to the village hall at 2.30 for very welcome tea and cake supplied by Sonja and Kate, courtesy of the village shop. Thanks girls. If you are walking in the area give the shop a visit, the tea and cakes are excellent. Finally, thanks to Ian for help with the recce.
For our next outing we will again be visiting Liverpool on the 28th July meeting at 1230 in the Lime Kiln. From here we will make our way to Peter Kavanaghs. This is a gem of a pub with many unique features. We will then visit the Belvedere an old fashioned pub serving real ales and also a good gin menu. As always if you are running late please call my mobile 07801 656570 to find out where we are. Cheers, Sue

MÔr-Ladron Cymraeg – The Welsh Pirates
A day with 
a difference. We will start with a visit to Ena Mill in Atherton, reputedly named after a Spanish Queen. This Cotton Spinning Mill was built in l908 and is a Grade !! listed building, It is a magnificent example of our Industrial Heritage. After spinning thousands of yards of cotton is was closed in the 1990’s. It is now converted in a fantastic open space on the ground floor as an Emporium with something for everyone and a nice Coffee Shop. Maybe a chance to start some early Christmas shopping for stocking fillers etc. Onto the family owned Rivington Hall Barn Bolton. which dates 
back to the 12th Century. It still retains original features and huge Saxon beams. We will have a 2 course lunch followed by tea/coffee and then we will sit back and enjoy an afternoon of entertainment from the well known Lancashire Folk Group The Houghton Weavers. Formed in l975 they have had their own BBC series Set Thee Down and a BBC Radio 2 show. They are easy to listen to and there is gentle humour appealing to all ages. Time for a last drink before leaving for home
