Adventure at Anglers

 Wednesday 17th. November 2021.      Adventure at Anglers

For today’s outing 5 of the lads will make their way to the outskirts of Wakefield, to visit a man made lake which is known locally as Anglers, Anglers Country Park to be exact. A picturesque setting to say the least.

John Colin and Brian will travel by Train from Leeds then take the 196 bus from Wakefield heading for the village of Walton where Dave and Derek will board the same bus and then ride the remaining distance on through Crofton and finally to a drop off point close to the lake. This bus journey proved to be rather exciting and scary at some stages, (rather eager driver). Anyhow the Lads arrived safely and where soon at the water’s edge after taking the short pathway from the countryside bus stop. A decision was taken to walk in an anti-clockwise direction around the lake, so with the wind at their backs and the sunshine on their faces off they went.

The time was about 11:30, a steady amble along the footpath was enjoying with the usual banter between the group members, before not too long they had completed almost half of the lake side walk, now time to head for the cafe situated nearby for a short coffee break, actually they spent a good thirty minutes here discussing future adventures and possible venues for their Christmas Dinner Outing. With time moving on it was back to the lakeside pathway and complete the circumnavigation of this wonderful setting here in the countryside near the city of Wakefield.

The Lads now made their way  to the country lane bus stop for the short ride back to the village of Walton and have an  enjoyable lunch time meal at the New Inn, a table was booked in advance for this occasion and there to meet them was another one of the Lads, Keith, he has taken the opportunity to share a little time with the rest of us and join in the banter at our table. Hopefully he will be fit enough to take on a local walk at Lofthouse in a couple of weeks time. With the time now approaching 3:00pm it was over the road for three of the lads and take a bus back into Wakefield and a Train back to Leeds ,for the remaining lads it was a car journey to their respective homes.

Yet another great day out with the Lads 

Cheers Everyone.
