Formby to Crosby

Well 23 of us made it out for the first walk this year.
We had a choice of good cakes and a slice of xmas cake. We set off in
the direction of Formby National Trust property but couldn't access it
due to fallen and dangerous trees (due presumably to the heavy
snowfall they had) and skirted around the woodland and on to the dunes
for coffee.

We headed down the coast and weaved in and out of woodland till lunch
time at the coast with views of snowy Snowdonia and the North Wales
coast. From there we followed the coast to Crosby and the Gormley
statues where we dressed one up in rucksack, hat and walking stick to
take a picture of. Then we walked to the station and caught a train
back to Formby for a coffee at costa.

Thanks to Alfred for cakes and leading big group of walkers and
finding ways around blocked paths.
