Village Hall Walk
It was 8.30 in the morning on the 23rd of September that saw 34 hardy walkers set of on a gruelling 24 mile walk from Norley Village Hall, later to be joined by 6 further walkers at The Anderton Boat Lift and then by scouts further along the Weaver. Yes it was the Norley Village Hall’s Sponsor Charity Walk once again, raising much needed funding for renovation work in our Village Hall. We always seem to be lucky with the weather and this year was no exception for once again the weather was fine, however the designated footpaths were certainly on the soft side after all the rain we have had, but the walkers were well prepared and any mud certainly did not deter their spirits. If any walker had an idea that this exercise would be beneficial to a loss in their weight they were soon to be disappointed. for at every point the walk came upon a road, Marshals were situated, and as well as checking walkers through they were handing out flapjacks, chocolate bars, biscuits and all forms of goodies oh and water to wash it down with. Marshals also offered lifts back to Norley for any walker who felt they had gone far enough. All in all the Marshals were a great encouragement and provided a fantastic service.
