Morley Meandering's

 January 10th. 2024.                     Morley  Meanderings

For the second outing of this new year, some of the Lads have decided to stretch their legs and blow a few cobwebs away by participating in a shortish walk from the centre of the town of Morley down towards the White Rose shopping centre and visit the establishment of the Scribbling Mill, a J D Wetherspoon outlet.

It will be John, Colin, Brian and Dave that will meet up near the town hall in Morley about 11am. From there they will begin their journey heading up the High Street then turning left in the direction of Peel Street passing on their way buildings of some significance from days gone by.

The town of Morley covers quite a large area and is full of interesting observations to say the least, once outside the Miners Arms and beyond the lads now descended the many steps taking them towards the railway station region, at the present time under reconstruction for some unknown reasons, however the lads carried on heading downwards eventually finding the pathway leading through scrubland and finally into open fields, the underfoot conditions at some points proving rather treacherous and muddy, the open field footpaths ran close to the railway line with a few transpennine trains passing us by as we struggled along.

Eventually we reached a desirable pathway of better construction leading us to the outer limits of the White Rose Centre and a few minutes later found us off the pathway and over the road heading towards our intended destination not before giving our boots a good cleaning etc.

Once inside the Scribbling Mill we eventually found a suitable place to sit , the place was somewhat rather busy and we were a few minutes ahead of schedule, Derek had arranged to meet up with us at 12:45 it was now 12:30 John called Derek to let him know fortunately he had arrived early so before we knew it he had joined us. Meals and drinks were now ordered and then the chattering began, discussing this that and the other about upcoming outings etc. Weather was the main topic and how it may affect our future plans. With our meals consumed and some sort of plan B in our heads it was off to the bus terminal here at White Rose and take our respective bus journeys homeward.

Upon reflection today’s adventure was good fun with great company and the weather didn’t spoil our enjoyment.

Cheers Everyone
