Rained off!

January 16th  2019.

Diarist: Tom and Daisy

Our plan was to convene at the Little Mill at Rowarth at 9:30am returning around 2:00pm. In the end the walk was postponed until next Wednesday 23rd.

In the words of the immortal Rabbie Burns  “the best-laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men gang aft agley” and so it proved a truism as our planned walk was thwarted by the inclement weather, as one by one the A walkers decided to absence themselves.

However, the so-called A Team, whose reputation is now in tatters, were upstaged by the newly formed “Knacard Team,”  a collection invalids and convalescents, who duly met at Colin’s house and had a joyous walk in Disley and its environs. Bravo!

Details of next week's walk below....

BREAKING NEWS (by Alan Hart).  I think it the attendance of Lawrie Fairman among the ranks of the depleted A team should also be recorded.

Perhaps the blog would want to fall short of mentioning this was yet another example in a lengthening list of occasions when Tom has organised an event, only to fail to attend himself.

For the record the B team also had a walk in which Tony Job, Geoff Spurrell and Barry Williams participated. It involved a bus ride from Hazel Grove to Newtown; a walk to the Soldier Dick at Furness Vale; a walk to Whaley Bridge for pies; and a bus ride back to The Rising Sun in Hazel Grove for final pints.

So to remind you chaps – Next Weeks walk will start from The Little Mill at Rowarth at 9:40 with half time refreshments at the Lantern Pike returning to the Little Mill for 2:00ish

Happy Wandering
