Five Weirs Walk
Sunday 21st August 2011, we really enjoyed the Five Weirs Walk, the chatter and the company was most pleasant. Over 25 people took part, plus some little ones came along for the ride, along with Reggie the dog. Thankfully it was a glorious day with the sun shining down on us. Thanks to all those that took part and to Irwin Mitchell Solicitors for providing the goodie bags and Westfield health for their contribution.To Costco for the water and crisps to keep us going and to the Holiday Inn Express for our most welcome refreshments at the end. We could not have wished for a better day. Our successful walk is all down to those that took part and their sponsors, raising a fantastic £1100.00
