Last Friday as part of May’s National Walking Month the Lighthouse Project Walking Group were chosen by the Greater Manchester Walking Festival to host Dame Sarah Storey as they went round their usual Friday lunchtime walk.
The group was led by Peter, one of the regular walk leaders, and Tom and Nicola from Living Well also joined the group as they walked around one of the group’s favourites, Alkrington Woods.
The weather remained dry, and along the way there was plenty of time for conversations and sharing the joys of the outdoors.
Before setting off the group had their photo taken with Dame Sarah, and afterwards she came back to the Lighthouse Project where they enjoyed a well earned buffet lunch.
The group walk every Friday lunchtime, rain or shine, and it is free to join. Afterwards they all return to the Lighthouse for sandwiches and a brew. There is a small charge if you want lunch, but this is just to cover the cost of making the sandwiches.
