ON FOOT EXPLORERS
Convenor: Carleen Thoernberg
We are going to try a different day for our monthly walk. Wednesday pm won the most votes, so we will see how that goes for the second Wednesday of each month starting with Wednesday 9 May at 2.30. You may have noticed that the seas have been wild and wonderful this last week and I thought a bracing walk along the cliffs to enjoy the sea might be a good way to get started.We will meet at the Jan Jun beach car park (just at the bottom of Hoylake), with a cliff walk as far as we like to go – Bells Beach or not so far if that is what we decide. As always, let me know if you are a starter or not.
