The Hayhurst Arms, Moulton and the River Weaver

Saturday 8 October 9 miles
Hilary, Tracey, and Jane

The day was cloudy and the weather cool, but quite pleasant to be walking in.

We parked at the Hayhurst Arms. There were young ones going to play football, and having to rake the leaves off the pitch first. We also met an old lady (aged 91).

From Brick Kiln Lane we crossed the busy road (A533), went up Jack Lane, then Niddries Lane, to the end of the tarmac and onto the track. There were quite a few cars going along the track.

We went under the railway bridge to the river.
Walked along the river to the Weaver Navigation and arrived at the Vale Royal Locks. We had our lunch here.

We decided to make the walk longer and continued along the river. At the Northwich Rowing Club hut we turned around and retraced our steps.

Just after the Vale Royal Locks we took the footpath going across the fields, over the railway line and along the path to come back to Moulton. We followed the track along the edge of the houses back to Niddries Lane, then onto Jack Lane and back to the Hayhurst.
