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. 

March Reflections

It’s official: March 2025 has been a record breaker. The Met Office tells us that that the month has been the driest since 1961 and with over 185 hours of sunshine - 59% more than average - and our photographers have made hay!

For once we had a precipitation-free holiday week in the Lake District (another record?) where we enjoyed many wonderful A and B walks, mostly from our Grasmere hotel. Thanks to leaders Jon, Pauline, and Steve, the A walks included Lingmoor Fell taking in Blea Tarn with views towards Grey Friars, Swirl How, and the Langdales; Easdale and Codale Tarns, plus Tarn Crag; and The Green Burn Round taking in Steel Fell, Calf Crag, Gibson Knot, and Helm Crag. Our three B walks were led by each Dave and Margaret with rambles from Grasmere to Elterwater, the Coffin Route to Rydal and return, and a circular route up Easdale – with waterfalls.

Over the remaining weeks in the month, A walks were to Henllan and Lawnt, Moel y Plas, and Rhewl, returning along Lady Bagot’s Drive. B walks visited Manley Common, the Calderstones Park Circular, and the Daffodil Walk in Sefton Park.

You will see our new programme of 2025 A+ walks on the dedicated page of this website and we eagerly look forward to the first one later in April to Church Stretton, Shropshire.

Thanks to our photographers of Ian, David, Bruce, Peter, Bill, Dave, and Steve, who made the most of some stunning scenery, many bathed in wonderful spring sunshine!
