Walking Group
Organiser: Marilyn Westbrook
| Meeting | We usually meet on the first Thursday of each month, with a different person
leading each time.
Good morning walkers, Please find below details of the next u3a walk on 2nd October, which will be led by Ken. Usual start time, 10.00am. Marilyn Walk - Thursday 2nd October The walk is in Worsley, Salford. Starting from the Dukes Drive Car park, M30 8AP. Come off the M60 at Junction 11, turn right at the roundabout to A57, Liverpool Rd, then turn left on to the B5231 Canal Bank. At the roundabout turn left then immediately right onto the Dukes Drive. The car park is not signposted but is straight ahead. Takes about 40 minutes. The walk is mainly flat, no styles and goes along the Bridgewater canal to Worsley Delph, through Worsley Woods Nature Reserve, along the Loopline (old railway) and finally through Worsley Golf course back to the car park. Meal at The Blue Bell Pub. We will provisionally book for 12 with final numbers on the day. See you then, Ken Christmas Walk and Lunch Although it is only the start of October, lunch venues for a Christmas get together will start filling up fast. So, we have booked provisionally for 20 people at the Beefeater in Tytherington on Thursday 4th December. The walk beforehand will be led by Cecilia and the restaurant is happy for us to park our cars there while we go walking until after we have had lunch, despite the on-site signage. Indeed Cecilia and I did just that last Tuesday. The menu is available. Please note we shall be only using the green menu. The others are for Christmas Day and Boxing Day so ignore them. They seem to download as a package. Also they have no prices on them but for two courses it is £21.95 and for three courses £25.95. One course does not seem to be an option. Deposits are not required but if you book a lunch and then can't come you will have to pay anyway. Please find Cecilia's information about the lunch booking below. More information about the walk will be sent nearer the time as per usual but it is a pleasant and easy ramble around the outskirts of Macclesfield with one fairly long, but not very steep, hill on a paved surface. Think of the calories you'll be in credit for by the time you get lunch! "The December walk will start and end at the Beefeater in Tytherington. I need to know numbers for the Christmas lunch by the end of October, then menu choices by the middle of November. No deposit will be required. We can park there for the walk and meal. Please let me know if you're coming by email." Walking pictures are available in the Photo Gallery - Click here |
