Sunday walkers – 02/01/22
15 of us went on a mystery walk this morning. Due to conditions the route had to be changed more than once. We ended up doing 4 miles from the station, along canal to Bells Lane and back. We were very lucky with the weather as it rained heavily about 30 minutes after we finished. We agreed we would all take a lateral flow test before walks in the future for the time being.
Great to be back – happy New Year to all who were unable to join us

Hi everyone, we had the last meeting of this year last Monday (13/12)
It’s been a challenging year at the U3A with the Covid and the lockdown.
Numbers attending groups have been down and some unfortunately had to close.
Pete and myself like to thank all members that attended the Camera club meetings this year. By doing so you are keeping the Digital Camera club running.
I know we all would like to thank Alban for keeping use refreshed with the tea, coffee and biscuits at the meetings… Thanks Alban.
Dates for next year…

Sunday walkers – 05th December
Hope you enjoyed the walk today, nearly 5 miles from Aughton station. We strolled along Long Lane, Blackmoss Lane , New Lane then over to Catherine’s Lane into Croppers Lane. At Poppy’s Lane we turned right through the farm down to Graveyard Lane. We stopped and saw the Friends Burial Ground (Quakers -1665) then walked through Graveyard farm following the footpath over a small bridge up to the Moor Hall estate. Then left onto Prescot Road, right at the next footpath which brought us back to Town Green station. Hope to see you all soon- Brian
Digital cameras – Nature
The ‘nature’’ topic drew over 100 entries.
Our next subject is ‘Open’ on 13th December.
We reopen on January 17th with ‘Christmas fayre’
Sunday walkers – local
We had to postpone our walk in West Kirby due to the weather forecast.
Even though it forecast snow 20 of us completed just under 5 miles taking in the canal, Cheshire lines and local fields.
We arrived at Bernie’s just as the snow was getting heavier.
It was great to finish the walk with a cooked breakfast in good company.
We are walking in Aughton next week and getting the 9.50 Ormskirk train . I will post full details later in the week. John and I are hoping to go to Bernie’s at 9 next Sunday and have breakfast before we get the train. Anyone can join us 🙂
