The Strollers had hoped to do a walk around Freshfield last Sunday, but, at the very last minute had to change this due to repair work taking place on the unmanned crossing near Freshfield.  As we were booked in at the Pinewoods pub for lunch it was decided by the group to walk from Hightown to Freshfield.  It was a lovey day and the group, in the end, walked 7 miles.  Nine walkers took part, all agreed it had been a good walk which ended with an excellent lunch at the Pinewoods pub.  We will do the walk we had planned to do in September and have booked in at the Pinewoods pub again.  Please note for the August walk we will meet at 10.20 not 10.50am at Maghull Station.

Last Sunday, Jan 15th,  a group of 17  walked from Waterloo Station along the promenade, past the Crosby Baths and Coastguard Station, through the sand hills and on to the Hightown Yacht Club. From there we walked through the nearby built up area and completed the walk at Hightown Railway station,  a distance of approx 5 miles.

Weather conditions were very windy but the walk was enjoyed by all.

The day ended with some of us having lunch in The Great Mogull,  back in Maghull
