Marty, the well behave for "cockapoo" leads the way.
The only buzzard seen today.
"Are you sure we've been here before?"
A Grey squirrel enjoying his nuts!
Beaufort Wind Force: Max 2, just a 6.7 m.p.h. Gentle breeze.
Group: Martyn, Sue and Michel, Mile Fran and Marty the cockapoo or something similar.
We decided on an earlier than usual start, in the hope of completing the walk before it became too hot.
We were on our way just after 09-00, and the first section was along the Wirral Way. The temperature as only just over 20 Celsius and with the occasional breeze it was just right for walking. The Wirral Way soon went through a cutting that shielded us from the Sun, before the trees took over the job of protecting us.
We left the Wirral Way at Cuckoo Lane, a pleasant path that climbed slowly, leading us to Little Neston.
The route took us along a section of Woodhall Lane to Cumbers Lane, both new to me.
In Little Neston, we turned down Well Lane as far as a path sign-posted New Heys. This path took us past Nessholt to the Coastal Path near Denhall Quay.
It was at Denhall Quay, that we had a very hazy view across the estuary to Moel Famau.
It was rather early to call in at The Harp, so we just carried on walking, but soon had to change our route as the path to Neston Old Quay was closed. Exploring the roads through Little Neston was our only way out. Mike noticed one of the roads was called “Riverside Walk”, so we took it, hoping it would get us back to where we wanted to be.
Thankfully it did, as it led us to the path that linked Neston Old Quay with the Wirral Way.
Birds seen or heard today included: Barn swallow, Common buzzard, European robin and House sparrow.
We arrived back at the car, having had an enjoyable walk, and completed before the temperature felt uncomfortable.
We headed to Stanley Park, where we found a suitable bank in the shade to sit on while we ate our lunches. Mature fortified fruit cake was provided for all that completed the August Short Walk. (it was someone’s birthday at the end of the week!
