Meet in the small car park opposite Guys Thatched Hamlet in Bilsborrow, Suday 6th December at 9.30 a.m. Details as below. A rather undemanding route after the recent prolonged absence. The plan is to break in Wrea Green for lunch where hot and cold sandwiches and drinks will be available as takeouts from Dizzy Ducks Tea Room. The route is as below and scheduled to pass public toilets in Great Eccleston and Kirkham. Please bring 30p for the toilet if you require it and 20p for the toll bridge across the Wyre, plus lunch money or card. You will probably need a mask of some sort to order food in the cafe.
Due to current restrictions the ride is limited to 6 participants. If you book on over the 6 you will move up a place if someone should drop out, but only the first 6 should attend on the day.
Weather will hopefully be dry but rather cold (actually very cold).
NO ONE will be left behind
Any problems on the day: Contact No. 07708 252168
