The walk started at 1230 along the Trent and Mersey canal before joining the Macclesfield canal as far as Ramsdell hall .

We then had a short walk across fields with plenty of lambs to admire

Arriving at the impressive building of little Moreton hall where lunch was taken on a couple of benches on the lawn of the hall .

After lunch we crossed more fields and a pretty bluebell wood to reach Lawton church then on to Trent Mersey canal .

Our destination was the Bluebell Inn which opened at 4pm and it was timed perfectly arriving at 4.05 pm and the added bonus of a beer festival .

After sampling some of the beers and a few of us having a pizza too we headed back to the station at various times for our journey home which was the wettest part of the day as it started to rain as we arrived at the pub
