This talk covers Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside and Cumbria plus the neighbouring counties of Cheshire, Yorkshire and Derbyshire. Wonders include sculptures, the ship canal, buildings, landscape and a number of stories of how people have contributed to the shaping of this wonderful region of ours. So what is the connection between the Manchester Ship Canal and Canada? Where is the Taj Mahal of Manchester and of the north? Who told Mr Kellogg to put a cockerel on his cornflake packets? And which the world's biggest railway station when built in 1877?

I give a series of illustrated themed talks on country walking, both rural and urban, under the umbrella title of Amazing Walks. The talks are fully illustrated with a digital photographic show and I bring all my own equipment. I have given talks to W.I.s, U3As, PROBUS and various other groups and have received very positive feedback. I have been successfully auditioned by Lancashire Federation of WIs and I am on the recommended list of North West U3A groups. I have been complimented on the details given in the talks and the quality of my photographs. I can travel to groups within Lancashire and Cheshire or anywhere within a 45 mile radius or so of Manchester. I am willing to come at short notice providing I am available as I might be out walking or talking! Please book early for 2026 as the places are limited and are soon filled up. Provisional bookings will be accepted also.
