First walk of a new decade!

2nd January 2020
Five Meanderthals came out of Christmas hibernation for a short walk, 4 miles in total from London Road to Avenham Park via Walton-le-Dale and returned along part of the Guild Wheel.

Walkers: Vic, Jim D, John R, Mike H and Anthony were joined at the Pavilion Cafe in Avenham Park by Martin and 
John W, on crutches and with his new knee!




Tree of the week

'Grafton' playing fields at Factory Lane, Lower Pwnwortham...
a place of reminiscence for many Preston Catholic College old boys!

It's a long time since we went cross-country running down this lane.


The Park Hotel and the now derelict LCC office block on the left.

The West Coast mainline and The Continental pub just visible
under the right arch. 

The 'combination' bridge over the River Ribble.
Trains and pedestrians (right) shared this bridge many, many years ago.

Looking towards the Old Tram Bridge, now closed to the public because it is unsafe.

Lovers' Locks abound on the bridge

'P' and 'B' placed a double lock!
