LATEST LETTER FROM RODNEY

Hi Everyone

As you will be aware, we have a walk date this coming Sunday 11.05.2025, I apologise for the delay in posting the details but I have had some difficulties with the route being impassable due to serious path erosion adjacent to the River Yarrow, I have worked out a diversion and finally finished the reconnoitre late this afternoon. It is all worth it as the walk, in my opinion, is a cracker.

We will start at 2pm from the Yarrow Valley Country Park Cafe Entrance/Car Park. From there we pass the Big Lodge, Nature Reserve, Weir and Fish Pass, Yarrow River, Drybones Wood, Mine Shaft, Foot Bridges, Open Field, Duxbury Wood, A Dog??, Green Bridge, Wood Sculptures, Burgh Lane South, Site of Bleach Works and return.

The Walk. Just short of 5 miles, no stiles, some steps, some tree roots roughing up the pathway, mostly good pathways all in all its great.

Yarrow Valley Country Park is Off Birkacre Road, Chorley. Sat Nav/post code PR7 3QL. There is a large free car park.

This is great riverside walk through beautiful countryside, don't miss out.

Hope to see you there 2pm start.

Kindest Regards

            Rodney

Below are a new set of dates for our next walks together:

Saturday 14th June 2025 longer mid morning/afternoon outing.

Sunday 13th July 2025 shorter afternoon walk.

Sunday 10th August 2025 shorter afternoon walk.

It seems an age since we last did a longer walk and I thought you all might like to do something that enables us to be outdoors for a few 'moments' more, nothing too strenuous of course.

Hope to see you 11/5/2025.
