It was nice to get out and about today for our 41st Walk and Wednesday Pub Lunch.
The 3.6706 miles (5.9072 km) route has been saved and can be seen at...
Today we...
- caught the bus to Maghull Railway Station,
- caught the train to Aughton Park then we
- completed the walk for our pub lunch...
To return home we caught a bus back to Maghull.
There were quite a lot heading into Liverpool...
... but very few going to Ormskirk...
From Aughton Park Station we turned right and headed along Long Lane, crossing the A59 at the end and then across the field towards the reservoir...
There were patches of blue sky...
...albeit small (Fisherman's Jackets).
Gorse was in flower and looking back at the bright yellow flowers, we could see Christ Church, Aughton, that we had passed earlier...
Looking back in the direction we were heading, we could see more flowers and, in the distance Ormskirk Parish Church...
As we would expect at this time of year, here in the North West of England, a smallish flock of geese flew over...
The only other plants of interest were teasels...
...and, after we had passed under the railway line...
...past the trees, whose trunks were covered in moss...
...we saw 'catkins'...
...for the second time this week.
We made our way through the Bus Station, to check times for our bus home, and, as always, took a look at the Wall painting at the end of a row of terrace houses facing Moor Street in Ormskirk....
...not one of Banksy's although probably inspired by him!
Time for lunch! Find out more about our experience at...

After our lunch, we headed a short distance down the road to catch our bus.
Another enjoyable walk in West Lancashire.
