Leader Summer Walks July 29, 2024

Frodsham Woods, Cheshire – Leader summer walk

 

When: Saturday 7 September, 1:45pm onwards.
Start location/time: 1.45pm start at Woodland Trust Frodsham Woods car park (what3words: dads.dizzy.breakfast). There is ample room in the car park but if please car share if possible so that we can be eco-friendly. There are buses and trains available to Frodsham train station and from here it is a 1.5 mile walk to the car park. If you require picking up from the train station, please specify in the questions below, and the walking team may be able to help with this. Please aim to arrive 10 minutes early so that we can start promptly and record who is present.
Finish location/time: 15.45pm estimated finish at Woodland Trust Frodsham Woods car park.
Walking route: This will be a 3-4 mile walk. Please come prepared to walk on some paved tracks, but mainly woodland and grassy tracks. There will be some ascent and descent so the walk will require some degree of walking fitness, but we will walk to accommodate different paces. There are no toilets on the route, however, at the end of the route there will be toilets at the Frodsham Hills Hotel.

Kit: Please wear appropriate footwear (e.g. walking boots and walking shoes with walking socks) and make sure you have water to hydrate. Depending on the weather you may also wish to bring sun hats/sun cream; a warm jumper or a waterproof coat. Please also bring with you a metal or unbreakable mug as the team will make a brew for everyone at the end of the walk if the group is unable to stop at the Frodsham Hills Hotel, where there may be chance to purchase a drink if you wish.

Please note this walk is not dog friendly.

 

As there are a limited number of spaces for this walk, once we have reached event capacity you will automatically be added onto a waiting list for when a place becomes available. We will email you to confirm whether you have a space, or whether you have been added to a waiting list.

Adventures… by the sea June 24, 2024

On the 12 October 2024, Girlguiding North West England will be taking over Southport for a fun filled day by the seaside. This event will be open to all sections across the region.

The event will begin at 9:45am with an estimated finish of 3.30pm. However, you are welcome to leave before this time once your group have finished their last activity.

Over the course of the day, groups will be participating in 5 different activities these can range from different types of sports, crafts, and some skills we hope girls will have never tried before. Due to the scale of the event, it will not be possible for groups to participate in every activity but we will ensure that you are allocated a varied selection.

As this is a unit event all girls will need to be accompanied by their leaders, ensuring ratios are followed. Each unit is required to provide their own first aid. You will also need to bring lunch and enough drinks to last the day.

Both girls and leaders are expected to be wearing uniform during the event.

Tickets cost £1.50 plus the Eventbrite fee. All attendees will need to purchase a ticket, including leaders.

Bookings will close Wednesday 11 September 9am.
