Friday 20th February. Meet at Moira Furnace car park near childrens play area
It was slightly damping what we call slight drizzle which you hardly notice. 10 People met at the car park which proved a slight problem as another U3A was meeting at the lime kilns car park. However when we did all get together we set off for the Furnace and joined the canal towpath and turned left towards Conkers. We paused to look at the lock that takes the canal under Shortheath Road. Crossing the road on foot we followed the canal to the basin at Conkers with the small location of the railtrack. We crossed the rail track and followed the path until we reach the old disused rail track. We turned left and followed the track until we reach Poplar avenue where we turn left up to the canal which we follow as far as the Furnace where we go down to the cafe for coffee. After we we had the coffee we went back to the car park. Total distance 2.5 miles.
