3rd December. A relatively gentle ramble of around 9 miles was the right time of year for this shortened version of an outing to the lovely pub at Wareside for lunch. Eight members and one welcome guest made it to the fairly early start, meaning there were no time issues Read more…
It is hard to say how many Morley Ramblers actually did this walk; 17 were counted when we set off from Norbury station, 23 enjoyed lunch at the Rookery café on Streatham Common and eleven made it for tea! Thus the advantages of an urban walk with many opportunities to Read more…
