HESKETH BANK

 LET'S DO LUNCH !  Miles 0 

Munchers :- Martin and John. + t'others.

Two Meanderthals felt unable to complete a full days walking but decided to join the group for lunch.  They drove to Hesketh Bank and parked near the little disused church at the far end of Becconsall Lane ...


......... where they were almost immediately joined by the walking group.

 

As we sat together to have lunch Danny (our rambling Encyclopaedia)  regaled us with tales of the churchyard. You may have read some of these in the previous blog.



"Where's Wally ?"  Sorry I mean Vic.


Ah ! ....... There he is.  Emulating Greta Garbo in the Oscar winning film "Grand Hotel".

Danny, thorough as usual, had reconnoitred the walk, and had lots to tell us about the immediate environs. The most dramatic piece was about a German bomber offloading bomb(s) to lighten it's load for the return flight to Germany.


The graveyard still bears the scars of the Bomb exploding close by.



We had an enjoyable lunch with the group before they once again set off to continue their walk.


Martin and John W............ Resters not ramblers.

Before leaving Danny followed tradition by sharing "BirthdayTreats" with us all.  Excellent biscuits lovingly made by his wife Barbara.


And so, after a very pleasant sunny lunchtime, came the parting of the ways with the walkers heading off to finish their ramble and the "Idlers" driving home.

THE END

THE END ( again )
