Sounds great but we’ll be away. I’ve mentioned it to our lodger, Louise.
Cheers,

I am currently looking after a dog, and rather than take him for a walk by
myself, i propose a walk along the Redmires conduit this Saturday, March 7th,
10am - 3pm.
We will meet at the corner of Everton and Wiseton Roads at 10am, and walk up
to King Edward 7th school at Crosspool to pick up the end of the conduit, and
follow it out to Redmires reservoirs, where we will have a paked lunch, and
then return down Mayfield and the Porter Valley, stopping at Forge Dam fro
hot drinks and cake. Distance 16km or 10 miles.
The Redmires conduit was completed in 1833 to provide a clean water supply
for the rapidly expanding city. It was replaced by piped and pumped water in
1909. See attached for history.
Route is here:

If you don't want to walk the whole way (or don't have time), buses can be
caught at a number of points.
Please reply directly to me at gordon.ferguson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx if you would
like to join me.
