Sunday Strollers will be walking from Sandhills to Bootle along the canal on 25th November and then having lunch at L20.  The walk is approx 4 miles and is flat.  Places need to be booked at L20 so if you are interested please text Brenda McKenzie on 07900525222 or ring after 18th November for more details.  Or come to Group Support desk on 20th November.

Due to no trains leaving Maghull on 21st October the October walk for Sunday Strollers has been cancelled.  The group are going for a meal in November so the next walk will be on the third Sunday in January.

The weather forecast was not good but the rain had stopped by the time we boarded the train to Liverpool and stayed fine for the 10 people who took part in the walk. When we arrived at Central Station we only had a 2 minute wait for the Hunts Cross train. Our luck continued at Brunswick Station as we only had a 3 minute wait for the bus which took us to Hale Village.  We left Maghull at 9.20 and reached Hale by 10.30 ! Not bad when you think we had been on two trains and a bus on a Sunday. David Scott joined us and made the walk more interesting by sharing knowledge on the local area. We had an enjoyable 4 mile flat walk and finished up in the local pub and had a great lunch (10 empty plates at the end) .Whilst we were waiting for the bus on the return journey we enjoyed the air show provided by planes going overhead on their way to Liverpool Airport

19 members completed 6.5 miles of the War Horse Route in Ormskirk. Before finishing off in the local Wetherspoons to celebrate one of our members birthdays.

In 1914 it was agreed that Canada Dock at the port of Liverpool
would be used to import horses to the North of England. Horses
were needed as part of the war effort. There was no site available
near the City so Lord Lathom offered Lathom Park to be used as a
Remount Depot free of charge. Continue reading →

On a lovely sunny day the Sunday Stollers walked from Moreton to New Brighton then had lunch .  They all decided then to walk to Seacombe to catch the ferry and enjoy a crusie over the Mersey .  We then walked quickly up to Moorfields just in time to catch the train to Maghull.  Everyone agreed it had been a great day out.  We left Maghull at 10 o clock and arrived back in Maghull at 4.30 and had only spent about £7 for lunch and a drink so great all round.

14 Sunday Strollers enjoyed an easy walk around the lake in Southport.

The weather for this time of the year was great and from all accounts everyone enjoyed the fish and chips at the end of the walk.  The next walk will be from Moreton to New Brighton – a flat 5 miles which can be extended to 7 miles by carrying on to the ferry station at Seacombe if you wish.  Otherwise you can catch the train or bus back to Liverpool. We will be getting the 10 o clock train from Maghull and will be in Moreton just before 11 to start our walk.  There are plenty of eating places in New Brighton so you can take your pick.   If you want more details come to Group Support desk on a Tuesday morning or ring 531 0207 and speak to John
