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 🙂

Sunday walkers – Hall Road Nov 21
On a morning that was remarkably bright and sunny for the time of the year, 21 members decamped at Hall Road station where they were joined by 4 other members and Keith – a guest labradoodle guide possessing extensive knowledge of the intended route of the day’s walk.
After completing the usual preliminaries, the group set off for the first port of call at the Key Park. Here Frank and David provided background information as to how it was that this somewhat unique resource came into being for the benefit of the local residents, and how its facilities were safeguarded from excessive use.
