Sunday walkers – Moreton

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

20 walkers made their way to Moreton where we walked down to the front and stopped to have a coffee, tea and bacon baps at the little cafe.  The wind was very strong on the front so we decided to have it behind us and walk to New Brighton instead Hoylake .

The views were spectacular along the way with waves high in places . We were treated to seeing wind surfers and swimmers braving the elements . The walk was 5 miles although with the help of the wind it felt shorter.

Some of us then went to the Sea Horse and had either Sunday roast or fish and chips.  Feedback showed good value money .

Next week it’s the  Rimrose Valley and will get 9.19 train from Maghull to Seaforth.

The Davy Notebooks Project

Dear U3A member secretary,
