Get Together

Saturday 21 December

Christmas Meal

Started at Donna and Martin's for apéritifs and Champagne.

It had been raining earlier so some went by car. Three people walked and fortunately the rain stayed off. We went to the Alhambra for our Christmas meal (or should I say a not so Christmas meal).

We were able to walk home in the dry and cool night air at midnight, we could see the stars and some cloud.

Brook Lane to Merryman's Lane

Saturday 7 December 5.3 miles
Jane, Carol, Hilary

The weather was a bit warmer than it had been, we even saw sunshine!

There were not many instructions for this walk so we were bound to make mistakes.

Started at Brook Lane Alderley Edge. We headed across the fields but it was not easy to know which was the correct direction.

Lunch sitting on a bench at the end of Merryman's Lane, it was in the shade.

We loved Grogham Cottage, such a cute thatched cottage.
Crossed the railway line.
Walked across bridges over the bypass.
Passed a large area of Glass houses
Chorley Hall was not very visible behind the trees.
Walked along the bypass to return to the car.

Went to The Wizard for tea and chocolate.I was a bit worried about the fuel situation in the car as it was pretty much on empty but fortunately we got home!
