Thirteen LSAPS members met up for a 10am start at Yarrow Valley Country Park, Chorley. Chorley Council has published leaflets covering 4 walks around the country park. Using some of those directions I planned a short walk around the lake, on to the waterfall, then a short distance along the River Yarrow before returning to our cars at 12.30pm. It

On arrival it was overcast but by the time we’d walked from Fleetwood Marsh Nature Park the clouds had parted to reveal the sun and patches of blue sky.

The first photo walk of the summer break took place in Lytham on Thursday evening, 9th June, however due to Photoshow priorities there’s been a bit of a delay in creating this post. 12 members met at Lytham jetty to capture images of the area.

A very warm sunny day on Thursday 23rd June gave little warning of the change in the weather which coincided with our Photo Walk.
