FINAL FIELD TRIP THIS YEAR!
Following a really enjoyable guided walk around the Castlefield area of Manchester in June, Saturday, 15th July will see our last excursion before the Social Evening in September. Here are the details one more time…… Saturday 15th July - Anderton Lift (CW9 6FW) and the Lion Salt Works (CW9 6ES) We will enjoy a one hour boat ride to Northwich and back on the Weaver Navigation, culminating in an ascent in the Anderton Lift. We will then move the short distance to the Lion Salt Works for a guided tour in the afternoon. Lunch between the visits can be had at the Salt Barge pub (recommended) opposite the Salt Works, or in the café. A 10.30 arrival time is suggested at Anderton, where there is quite a lot to see and a café. There is ample parking, with a short walk to the Visitor Centre. Final check-in time for the boat trip will be 11.15. As we go to press we have sufficient bookings to qualify for the discounted rate for the two visits of £18 per person. There is room for more, so if you would like to join us, please let the Secretary have your booking and fee by 7 th July. Transport: If transport is a problem we can probably help. Please contact the Secretary. Disabled Access: Please note that both locations have wheelchair facilities and lifts where needed. This includes the Anderton boat ride.
