We cover quite a large area from our home base in Manchester. Treales, Freckleton, Lytham-St. Anne's and St Michael's-on-Wyre (all in the Fylde), Bamford in Derbyshire, Rainford in Merseyside, Bradford and Skipton in Yorkshire and Jodrell Bank, Wincle and Nether Alderley in Cheshire have all been within our compass.
We also like to get away for a weekend each year. In 2006 we gave a concert at the church of St George and St Luke in Barrow in Furness (see the Gallery for some pictures of our walk nearby). In other years we have stayed in Chipping, Lancashire (a concert in aid of the church roof), Evesham, Worcestershire (the Parish Church tower), Wallingford, Oxfordshire (Guide Dogs) and Cornwall (Cystic Fibrosis and Active8). The Cornwall trip has become a regular part of our schedule. We go at the same time (the late May Bank Holiday weekend) every other year - 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007 and coming up, 2009). |
