Walks and Dates August 2026




Wednesday 5th August 2026.
The usual first Wednesday in the month short walk will not take place today so that members of the group can if they wish go to Jo Jenkins's Funeral. 
Many of us knew Jo as a friend and colleague from UHS.
Jo's husband, Trevor gave the following information about her funeral.
 "Jo’s funeral is at Chester crematorium on Wednesday, August 5th at 1.20 pm.
We want this to be a celebration of Jo’s life, so please dress accordingly, with a hint of colour to reflect Jo’s spirit.
Refreshments to follow at Boughton Hall Cricket Club".

This walk is taken from Anthony Annakin-Smith's book "Wirral Walks".
He says it is one of his favourite local routes. He describes the walk as having a great diversity of landscape, including ancient tracks, remnants of the industrial revolution, a woodland haven and views of the Dee Estuary. You may even see Moel Famau! The walk includes part of the Wirral Way. Some paths may be muddy after rain.
