  Meeting   We meet on the first Thursday of each month, with a different person leading each time.

Thursday 2nd May
Mike and I are leading the next walk and it has been a bit of a challenge to find something appropriate, mainly because of the MUD!

However, we have settled on a walk at Mobberley.  Ankle high walking boots are strongly recommended and walking poles would be useful too.  The fields are VERY wet.  However, this means the animals have not yet been put out on them so they are just spongy, not churned up.  Several sections are very muddy where the path is between hedges so deviation is not possible.  But it is passable.  Hopefully it may improve if the apocalyptic deluges of recent weeks slow down.  There are about 9 stiles but most are in good order and not too high.  It is between 4 and 5 miles long.

We start at 10.00 am as usual at the Railway Inn next to Mobberley train station.  Postcode WA16 6LA, What3Words code is scored.imparting.contacts.  Make sure you leave enough time to negotiate the level crossing just before the pub on the Manchester to Chester line.  I have provisionally booked for 20 of us afterwards for lunch but can give final numbers earlier in the week.  They are happy for us to look at menus and order food on the morning of the walk before we go out.  You can see the menu on their website.  Please let me know by Monday April 29th if you want to have lunch.

The walk traverses the fields around Mobberley, passing close to the southern end of the Airport and the landing lights, and also takes in Mobberley church and the station.  The planes were coming in to land right over our heads because the wind is northerly today.  We may not be so lucky next week but still worth a look anyway.

Hope to see you on the 2nd.   Marilyn
