This month our walks are based on Winter Hill in Rivington where all the walks start and finish. The coach will leave school as usual at 8.00 am prompt and travel directly to Rivington Country Park where there are toilets.. Boots are essential on all walks. Since Rivington is only an hour away from Formby there will be plenty of time for all walks so we will commence the homeward journey earlier than usual at 4.30pm.
The cost of travel will be £10.00 for members, £13.00 for non-members and £5.00 for Leaders, children and students in full time education. Please make your cheque payable to Range Walking Club and ensure it is signed as it is inconvenient for the Treasurer to chase up such omissions.
Please send in your return to the Treasurer Monica Sealey before 10th November; places will be booked on the coach by the treasurer on a first come first served basis.
Cancellations: if you need to cancel or make a late booking, please contact Margaret on 07793195276 or by email margaretpegg@btinternet.com and I will endeavour to substitute your booking from the waiting list. If you cancel after 10th November and it is not possible to fill your place on the coach, regrettably, we will not be able to give you a refund as coaches will have been booked on initial returns.

The route goes via the remains of Lord Leverhulme’s terraced gardens, up multiple flights of steps to Pigeon Tower which was originally a dovecote with a sewing room above! |
