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. 

November Reflections

Our winter programme continued with some enjoyably dry and sunny days, albeit wet and muddy underfoot on occasion, and in contrast to the anti-cyclonic gloom of October. As a result, our photographers gained some stunning shots, taking advantage of the low-angled sunshine producing pictures that can really only be captured at this time of year. We have below a special celebration of colour, light, and trees – plus even some snow!

During the month our A walks included Moel Fammau, Penycloddiau and Moel Arthur, and Moel Lys y Coed. On these walks, we have quite often seen the Airbus Beluga plane as it heads into Deeside, so much so that we feel they are returning our waves as they fly by! Due to an overnight fall of snow one Monday the Moel y Plas and Moel Llanfair ramble will take place on another day. However, it gave John the chance to photograph some familiar hills in a slightly less-recognisable winter disguise.

The B walks took in Whitegate station to Petty Pool and return, Waterloo to Hightown, and Delamere Forest from Barnsbridge Gates. There was also a C walk in the Thurstaston area, from the Visitors Centre.

Thanks to David, Ian, Joyce, Peter, Bruce, Pat, and John for this month’s super selection of photographs.
