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

Today 11 of us walked from Old Roan to Maghull and then 4 others members joined us for lunch at Scrummies.  We all agreed the scouse was great and the weather was as kind as it could be to us and we only had light rain when we were walking.    We have sorted out our walks for 2018 and will be going to Chester, Carr Mill Dam, New Brighton, Ormkirk (War Horse Walk) Southport, West Kirby, all using our bus passes.   If you want more information come to Group Support Desk on a Tuesday morning.

Sunday Strollers will be walking this Sunday 21st January.  We will get the 11 o clock train from Maghull to Old Roan and walk back along the canal to Maghull.  This is a flat 4.5 mile walk, the walking surface is good and we plan to have lunch at Scrummies at 1.15pm.  We need to book for lunch so need numbers by Friday.  If the weather is not suitable to walk we still intend to go for lunch and discuss what walks we are going to do this year.  Please ring 0151 531 0207 or 07900525222 and speak to John or Brenda.  Below are pictures when we did the recce last week.  As you can see we were lucky with the weather it was very cold but sunny so a very enjoyable walk.  Some times we do not appreciate what is on our door step!!!.

Our next walk is 15th October .  We will be meeting at Maghull Station at 10.50.  We had hoped to get the train to West Kirby, however, there are engineering works that day so we will have to make the best of what is on our door step this month and do  West Kirby next month. If you have a bus pass remember to bring it with you. We may get the local bus to Lydiate and walk around that area.  You will need to wear walking shoes at this time of the year.

Six people enjoyed the sunshine on our walk last Sunday.   We passed RAF Woodvale at the Freshfield Heath Nature Reserve before making our way to the beach.  As the Southport Air Show was on, we were treated to an air display as we walked along. We had an enjoyable lunch at the Pinewoods pub before making our way back to the station.  The walk was 6 miles.  However, some people had walked to Maghull station making it over 7 miles.  Our next walk will be in West Kirby on the third Sunday 15th October.  This walk will be a  6 miles flat walk. However we will have a break after 3 miles. We will meet at Maghull station 10.50 everyone welcome.
