Evening Walk - a Mooch around Melling

Sandra and Tony Atkinson, Margaret and Roger Atkinson, Sue and Tony Maguire, Val Calder, Mick Fox, Hugh Taylor

One of the good things about the club evening and daytime mid-week walks is being in unfamiliar areas. This walk was typical of that when Sandra and Tony Atkinson led a walk around Melling in the Lune Valley. A walk of contrasting weather moods, it started off with a lovely rainbow, rain in the first part of the walk, and ended with a pleasant evening with lovely light. A drink in the Lunesdale Arms in Tunstall rounded off an interesting evening. Thanks Sandra and Tony

Sue Blamire and her family have been out collecting their 80's. She says "Not only did we achieve our 80 ardechois km, but I've also 'collected' 84 poteaux, all done by Weds".

Photos below - "The 80th and first poteaux. First was near gorge de Veroncle in Vaucluse, 80th was at Valos near St Maurice d'Ibie in Ardeche. Thank you to my fellow poteau-spotters who between them helped me get them all! - with Alexandre Dubreuil and 2 others.
