Sue posing with Brenda’s Quiz prize of a pair of beer goggles at The Frank Hornby, Maghull, on Friday, 24th February 2017.
An interesting yet fun way to drink your beer.
Thursday 2nd March, leaving from Maghull Station at 9:30 to Sandhills and onward to Formby or Freshfield depending on your choice of walk. Both will return to the Railway Pub at Formby.
The long walk will be approx. 8.5 miles and will start at Freshfield station.
The shorter walk will be about 5 miles and will start at Formby station.
Please note both walks will go through the nature reserve at Formby point. At the moment the reserve is partially closed due to the aftermath of storm Doris. Some trees are unsafe. We will not walk through heavily wooded areas but all walkers undertake the walk at their own risk and will be required to sign the waiver form prior to the walk. Footwear appropriate for sand and muddy paths is essential.

Unfortunately, after making enquires on starting this group it has been decided it is not a feasible proposition at present. The group would be quite small and to pay for equipment and hire of premises would be a considerable burden on the group. No one has come forward who would be willing to give the level of input which the group would expect. However, if someone with more experience was to come forward we could look at starting this group in the future.
