We feel fortunate to have such a wide variety of footpaths and walks on our doorstep, so easily accessible for our Wirral and North Wales based walkers. Throughout the year, our group enjoy every changing mood that each season brings to the countryside, as shown below in this section. 

February Reflections

“Dreich”: a wonderful Scottish word that perfectly describes the Tuesday walking conditions experienced this past month. The damp, grey, cold, and rather miserable weather, with its gloomy, dreary days, often featuring persistent mist or rain have been an overriding memory for many of us. Indeed, one dreich A-walk was undertaken with no view to be enjoyed throughout the day resulting in the comment: ‘I know I’ve had a good walk but I haven’t a clue where I’ve been!’

Despite the testing conditions, our talented photographers have once again proved there’s no such thing as bad weather – they always seize any opportunity to take a great creative shot! Thanks to Ian, Dawn, David, Chris, Sue, Bruce, and Peter we have some wonderful photographs below to view for our enjoyment.

February saw A walkers travel to Burwardsley, Hendre, Bickerton Hill, and Dyserth; B walks took place at Parkgate, Dunham Park, Spital to the Refreshment Rooms where they were joined by our C walkers), and Thurstaston.

On a positive note, we look forward in eager anticipation to the coming month and to the joys of Spring – see next month’s ‘reflections’ for further details!  

Late February days; and now, at last,
Might you have thought that
Winter's woe was past;
So fair the sky was and so soft the air.
