Everyone agreed it had been a great walk, with plenty of variety. A young couple agreed to take a photo for us and even shook the over hanging tree so the leaves fell at the appropriate time.

We are meeting in January to plan our walks for next year and some of the members have agreed to lighten the load and share leading walks, this will help to keep the group going. Groups should be aiming for group members to each do a little which saves a few doing it all, which results in a win win for everyone.

Today’s walk ticked all these boxes. One other member joined us for lunch after completing a mile walk to get to pub and a mile back to the station, a total of 2 miles. Well done Roberta!!!
The groups next walk will be on 24th July, meeting at Maghull Station at 10.50. The route to be advised at a later date. John would love to hear from anyone who knows of walks that fit the above criteria.
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.
