Our walk today, prior to heading for a Christmas Lunch at Southport College, was a six mile wander from Green Lane In Maghull, to Blundellsands and Crosby Station. Blessed with lovely weather we trekked via good paths across Sefton and Lunt Meadows, before walking through Thornton to pick up the footpath around the CHET estate at Little Crosby. From here we made our way through Crosby to catch the train at Blundellsands to Southport. Clouds restaurant at Southport College did not disappoint and our traditional lunch received the thumbs up from everyone, especially the two members of the group who won prizes of Christmas goodies in the raffle! Special thanks to Alan for recceing the walk and organising the lunch, and thanks also to those who have led walks this year and to members for participating in the walks and making them a very sociable affair. Best wishes to all for the Christmas Season and happy rambling in 2026!
If anyone found a silver Parker pen at u3a last Tuesday, could they please let me know or return it to Treasury tomorrow. Thank you!
