It’s a rather scant programme of walks for August, but so many people are away on holiday. In addition to what’s here, there may be a walk on 6th August. I’ll post the details later if there is. So here’s what we have so far –
Thursday August 20th : Hilbre Island. Meet outside the seafront toilets at the north end of Marine Lake, West Kirby (Grid Ref SJ 210967, CH48 0QG) at 10am for a walk across the sands to Hilbre Island. There and back total distance, 4 miles. Ice cream at the end!. Hilbre, at the mouth of the Dee estuary, is accessible only for 3 hours on either side of low tide. Bird life abounds, seals bask on the sandbanks, and there’s an old lifeboat station and composting toilet. A visit to a tidal island is always exciting so if you haven’t been before, don’t miss it! Leader, Judy (07905 330788)
Thursday 27th August : The next canal walk in the series, Ellesmere to Hampton Bank. Meet at Hampton Bank (Grid Ref SJ 460344, nearest postcode SY12 0QE) at 10am for car shuttle back to Ellesmere. Walk back, 4 miles. To get to Hampton Bank, take the Wem road out of Welshampton and after 2 miles, turn left immediately before the canal bridge. Roadside parking in 200 yards. Leader, Judy (07905 330788). Please let me know if you intend to come on this walk so I can sort out the car shuttle.
