Oh you of little faith, the group refusing to follow the leader across the water!
Lunch at Hadlow Road Station, with Georgie weighing up Roger's pork pie!.
I could do with one of these for my train set!
Is this what Celia is about to drink? I very much doubt it, it was only second best at Anfield!
Willaston church, the highlight of the afternoon's walk!Walk stats: distance:10.1 miles; Climb:287'.

The weather forecast for icy roads early on, forced us to head for lower ground, rather than attempt the narrow steep road up to Llangwyfan Forestry Car Park!
Weather-wise we were lucky, relatively warm, 7 Celsius by the time we arrived finally back at the car! However it was overcast and there was a feeling of dampness all the time, but thankfully no rain, only a few drops as removed our walking gear at the end of the walk.
This isn't exactly the most memorable of walks, perhaps that's why we finished it a little quicker than usual!
The true highlight of the day was lunch at Hadlow Road Station, at least it is one thing that Cheshire West and Chester can be proud to support!
Birds seen or heard today included;Robin, Blackbird, Chaffinch, Greenfinch, Redwing, Starling, Goldfinch, Herring gull, Black-headed gull, Lesser black-backed gull, Nuthatch, Blue tit, Great tit, Moorhen, Collared dove, Woodpigeon, Carrion crow, Raven and Buzzard.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Wheatcheaf at Raby, where the friendly bar staff and warm cosy environment just added to the enjoyment of theexcellent Brimstage Trappers Hat bitter that some of us were drinking!
