This interesting adventure took us from Everton Station to Everton, and back, by moonlight!
Sting sang “Giant steps are what we took walking under the moon”.
Twenty one delighted club members ambled along a short section of the Murray to Mountains Rail, covering just over 7 kms.
The conditions were great for a 6.30 pm start from the old station building, being warm with a very slight breeze.
Cecily led a very social mob into Everton village where we enjoyed excellent salad rolls and carrot cake prepared at the store.
Pat’s now internationally famous cuppa box was present to supply sufficient moisture to the walkers who trudged back to their cars in full glorious lunar luminescence!!!
