We may soon have to think about changing the name of this group!  On our latest walk we set off from Sandhills station and walked along the canal, and Dock Road until we reached the Pier Head, where we had a short stop for a coffee or ice cream and then carried on to the Britannia pub.  After Sunday lunch some of the group decided to carry on to the site of the Garden Festival and get the train at St Michaels, some got the bus/train  back to Liverpool, whilst the rest of the group retraced their steps back to Moorfields, covering 10 miles!!!!  Thanks to Judith and Ken for leading this walk, it was all on the flat and people were given options along the route to shorten or lengthen the walk to meet their personal needs.

15 members took part in a walk from Moreton to Hoylake on 17th April approx 4.5 miles.  The weather was kind to us and we had sunshine all the way.John the leader had found an excellent pub to have Sunday lunch in when we reached Hoylake.

If you like the idea of having Sunday lunch with a group check out the proposed new group starting 5th June, for further details see notice board or speak to Marg Atlay on the holiday/trip desk.
