For our first walk of
the year twelve of us met at the roadside next to Home
Bargains and eventually after some difficulty we all got
parked. We walked along the Canal to Danes Moss, across
the Moss, where it was nice to see the boardwalk
apparently open. We crossed the fields to Moss Cottages,
down Lowes Lane and across the fields to the beautiful
Gawsworth Church where we had a coffee stop.
Then it was across
more fields to Mount Farm and then down to the canal and
along the north side of Sutton Reservoir to a lunch stop
at the picnic tables.
After lunch we passed
through the woods and through the mud to Sutton. Across
the crossroads and left down to Sutton Hall and back along
the canal to the cars.
The walk was about
seven and a half miles. Many thanks to Dave Ilett for
leading this walk and the other walkers were Eve, Jo,
Judith, Lynn, Pauline, Susan, Suzanne, David, Hans, Mike,
Ray.
The weather was dry,
if somewhat cool.
The next walk will be
on Sunday 21st January and more details will be posted
nearer the time.
