Sunday walkers – Otterspool
32 members of the Sunday Walkers group travelled by rail to St. Michaels station for a walk to Liverpool’s Pier Head. Leaving the station we walked through Priory Woods and the old Garden Festival site and on to the waterfront. In warm sunshine and a light breeze we made the 3 miles along the promenade to the Pier Head around midday where we got a good view of Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth.
It was great to be out in great weather in good company.
The Friends of Sefton Park are providing a guided walk around the park for 35 of us next week followed by a meal in Lark Lane. Fingers crossed for a good day.
The Sunday Walkers group started with 3 and now has 50 members. Such a large group is just manageable but additional membership is now closed..
