Harris Hikers Chester Branch Walks. Upton, The Greenway, Blacon, Chester and More Wednesday 25th November 2020

Upton, The Greenway, Blacon, Chester and More.
A Great cormorant on the bank of the River Dee opposite The Cop, sealand Road.
Back in Chester, approaching lower Bridge Street.
A 12 mile loop including The Greenway, through Blacon, The Cop, Sealand Road, the River Dee to town and back to Upton via Hoole .
A lovely day walked at a pace 4 hours including lunch taken outside County Hall on the river. 2Fran did her best to keep up with Nigel’s trot. We saw a cormorant stretching his wings to dry in the golden autumnal sunshine. Good to be out even if we didn’t leave tarmac underfoot.
