We left Minera at 9.30 as planned ( a Jones record). Agood route to Birkenhead with a number of good fast cycle lanes. Other roads were busy but Sunday traffic so almost no lorries. Caught the ferry to Pier Head Liverpool. A great way to arrive in Liverpool. The area is looking great with the new museum built and opening within the year. We had lunch, in the sun outside the Liver Building. En route to Southport we diverted to cycle along Crosby beach and see Gormley's "Another Place" figures. Back onto lanes around Little Crosby, Hightown and Formby, then on the cycleway to Southport. It was bustling and busy, many dressed as though it was the med. No one in the sea swimming. We cycled all the way along the beach road before we realised we had to cycle all the way back on the other side of the pools that seperate the hotels and streets from the beachfront. Found the hotel and our room has a seaview , we can see Blackpool Tower and the Pleasure Beach. The sea has gone out an awful long way. Both pleased to note we have passed 500 miles today.
11 days to get to from Cornwall to Liverpool? if you'd have asked nicely i'd have lent you 3ltrs and 2 tons of the finest German Engineering, you could have been to John O'Groats and back to TS in a quarter of that time, and it would have been cheaper, and you would have looked a lot cooler, but I can understand why you didn't take your car, it being French engineering!!!
