A perfect day for the Lancaster Group walk
It was ‘just a perfect day’. That was how one participant described the Lancaster and District Group Annual Sponsored Walk. Similar song titles could have been appropriately applied with ‘Walking on sunshine’ and ‘Bring me sunshine’ being two that immediately spring to mind.
