Have you signed up for the ‘1000 mile in September‘ challenge? The idea is for our U3A ‘Walk A Mile Or Two‘ walkers to aggregate their miles walked in September. Can we get over the 1000 miles target together?
Contact Brenda McKenzie to add your miles.
What a difference a day makes to the Sunday strollers group. Last Sunday (23rd) it was wet and miserable. This Sunday it was blue, cloudless skies and a full house of 21 walkers, strolling in the sun. 2.3 miles from Maghull station, along the canal to Brewery Lane, a turn around Balls Wood and back to the station. All topped off with breakfast and coffee.
Unlike last Sunday, where we started in Lydiate, walked up to Town Green and back under dark, gloomy skies and an almost constant drizzle.
The good news is that both occasions brought out hardy, hearty and interesting company to drive away the Covid blues. Here are some images from both walks.

1000 miles in September?
We are thinking of a challenge we can do for September. Maybe try and walk 1000 miles between us during the month . So we are trying to encourage members to do a little often . With the number we have in the group if they all did a mile a day we would reach 600 so 1000 is achievable .
I will keep you informed – Brenda
The new group had its second stroll on Sunday August 9th with 16 members taking part. A pleasant and easy stroll of about 2 miles starting and ending at Maghull station followed by coffee in Bernies.
Another stroll is planned for next Sunday going in the opposite direction.
Please contact any of the ‘leaders’ to be included in the walk. It is essential that you are familiar with the current ‘covid’ restrictions and have up to date membership.
See the group page for these details.
It is important to stay active, sit less and move more for your physical, mental health and wellbeing. Sunday Strollers usually meets once a month at present but the group decided to meet more often and complete 5 miles local walks.
Four members of the Sunday Strollers decided to form another group that would help members who do not want to walk 5 miles. The group has been called Walk a Mile or Two and completes local walks up to 2 miles.
11 members took part in the first walk which was just less than 2 miles and we plan to do another walk this Sunday 9th August, which is just over 1.5 miles. Social distancing rules are followed. If you want to be involved in either groups please text Brenda McKenzie on 07900525222 for further details.
