February’s walk will be an easy 1.5 hours flat walk around the lake and gardens in Southport, followed by fish and chips in a local cafe.  We completed a recce today in bright sunshine, lets hope we are as lucky on the 18th.  We had thought of getting the 11.03 bus but have decided to keep to our usual time of meeting up and will be getting the 11.03 bus (300) from opposite the old library on Liverpool Road.

We have decided on our walks for 2018 which include, a short version of the War Horse trail in Ormskirk, a walk along the canal at Chester, Carr Mill Dam, Ainsdale station to Pinewoods pub, Moreton to New Brighton.  We try to find somewhere to have lunch at the end of each walk which makes it more like a day out.  We use public transport so don’t forget to bring your bus pass (if you have one) If you want more details visit the Group Support desk on a Tuesday morning.

The next Sunday Strollers walk will be on 21st January.  This will be a local walk.  We will meet at Maghull Station at 10.50.  Please bring your bus pass if you have one. We will have lunch/drink at the end and will hopefully sort out the walks for 2018.  If you are unable to make the walk but you know of a walk that the group could complete during the year please come to the Group Support desk on a Tuesday or ring  Brenda McKenzie on 0151 531 0207.  We are looking for flat walks up to 5 miles.

Next Sunday Strollers walk is this Sunday.  We will meet at 10.50 at Maghull Station and catch the train to Freshfield.  The walk will be mostly on the flat and approx 4.5 miles .  We will finish up at the Pinewood Pub .

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.
