New Route. I will call it the Water Works Loop

Okay I'm pleased with this route. Picked it from Google Maps and its perfect on distance with the added bonus of no Prom Wind (Wahey!!).

Started off left onto Park Road this time and down Dovepoint road and onto Birkenhead road. Up the hill over past Meols railway station and all the way along the Meols stretch to just past the BP garage.

Turned left here onto Carr Lane and all the way along there to the railway line where I had to stop to check for trains. Then over the railway line continuing on Carr Lane until meeting back up with Park Road and then home.

Ok now I didnt feel too bad for most of the run. It only started to feel like really hard work after crossing the railway line and the last bit.

Good news. No sore throat and no cough!!!

Very Windy Prom Loop With Twist

Decided to go out Monday evening even with the blowing gale. My son was insistent on coming on his scooter also so we set off intending to do the normal Prom route.

Had the wind behind me all the way down the prom towards Hoylake and I felt like I was flying. We then turned to come back and the wind hit us big time.

It was a struggle until about Firshaw road when my son complained about earache and being too tired to continue. We walked from then on with little bits of jogging for me now and again. We made the diversion down Dovepoint road to avoid the wind hence the slight change in route.

Considering I walked a fair bit on the way back I was quite pleased with the time. That wind sure did blow me along!!
