7/11/2025 Enderby Walk before the rain arrives. ( birthday party at the the Leisure centre )

 The heavens haven't opened -  yet - as we gathered at the Enderby Leisure Centre for our walk around the outskirts of Enderby.

Off we go, up past the chippy.

Then the pub.

The Conservative Club

Yuk. Worn out to much rain.

                                         

Then the New Inn

One of the churches

It's Remembrance Day soon.

Having fun on the roof

New builds about to happen - no indication of this last time we were around this way which wasn't long ago.

Alice lived here. Also some very good friends.

Down on to the Railway. (Disused)

                                       Along Whistle Way

Lots of leaves everywhere.

Out into the colourful golfing range. Then back into the Leisure Centre - about 4 miles later.

At the Leisure Centre.

It's celebration time again.

The birthday girl with some of her homemade cakes.

Tucking in.

Cheers

Glad to be out and about.

Happy Birthday was sung with gusto much to the embarrassment of the birthday girl.

We all enjoy someone's birthday.

No leftovers today!

10 /10/2025 Walking around Thornton Water.

Not a bad day for a walk around Thornton Reservoir.

 The local birds have arrived for feeding and our gang for walking.

Off we go 
                                       

Plenty of chat 

      

The fishermen use this platform for launching as do the birds for sunbathing.

                               

The local gathering place for guillemots.

Lots of good country views around Thornton.

Noting the low levels of water of the reservoir after our very dry summer.

Time for a group photo.

Egret spotted. 

More egrets.

Another group photo

.

And another for good measure.

Some walked all the way back again and others went straight to the watering hole.

Forest Hill Golf Club - always good coffee and welcome.

Nowt like a good chat and a cuppa.

See you next time.
