The main task at the meet will be fitting the new sluice gate to the dam and the date has been brought forward as it will be too cold to do this type of work in October.

Three of use went for a walk around Helsby hill and a load turnd out at the pub to discuss holiday plans How to get to Helsby cliff Follow the A56 through Helsby. At the Post Office, this is on the opposite side to the hill. Turn off up the hill into Crescent Drive. Follow this road to its top and park. Across the road in front is woods going up the hill. Follow a path up first to a path contouring around and turn left then follow the first steep track up right. This leads to the right hand side of the cliff. Drop down a bit to the left to find the climbing. How to get to Frodsham Follow A56 out of Helsby passed school on left. Just after speed camera turn right down a lane beside a day nursery. At the top of the road turn right and go along till some buildings on the right. Park beside these. Opposite is a private road going up the hill. Walk up this to top and go through gate. Follow path up hill. When you reach a flat area you have gone 50ft too high! You are just above the cliffs that are further on. Drop back down to small track going off right (left on way up). Follow this along under the cliffs (20ft high) till you find someone. Or just climb. Sat, 10 Apr 2010 09:25:22 +0100
