Get Together

Saturday 10 December

Christmas Meal

We wanted somewhere close to home so the Sandhurst Hotel provides a reasonable meal - still one gravy boat though!

We did get coffee/tea this time.

The entertainment was a singer, Rowena sang later - she was better than the man!!!

Rawhead to Larkton Hill

Saturday 3 December 5.25 miles
Jane, John

I chose a shorter walk as the forecast was for blustery and wet weather, but it turned out to be sunshine, blue sky and some cloud. There was a cold wind blowing, but once on the move we soon warmed up.

Even though this was a short walk there were quite a few hills to climb. It was lovely with the winter sun shining through the trees.

I had forgotten about the great views from Rawhead, right across to Chester, Liverpool and the Hills of Wales. We could see that rain was passing over the Queensferry Bridge as it disappeared from sight. Liverpool was harder to see due to the rain showers as well. Walking along this section of the Sandstone trail gives good views to the south. It is interesting trying to work out what you can actually see, as we had the Crewe and Nantwich map we had no map to find out, plus it was too windy to be getting a map out! We could pick some land marks towards Chester.

The winter light as we got nearer to the car was beautiful, making the landscape really green, and shone on the golden leaves that remained on the trees
