A short morning walk with Steve Jones across sand for a picnic lunch with cans of Punk IPA.Route: leaving Steve's house in Moels and heading to the coast turning left along Meols parade as far as the lifeboat station. Then diverting onto the beach and slowly heading away from the coast towards the island on wet sand (water resistant boots proving the correct choice). Around 50 yards from the island, stepping carefully across a final stream of water. After watching seals on a distant sand bank, heading right to the end of the island and a former life boat station for a picnic. Then heading directly back towards the shore at West Kirkby. After a beer, returning along the main road.
Conditions: grey skies and windy but fairly warm.
Pub: the West Kirkby Tap, West Kirkby for Bragdy Heavy Industry Electric Mountain, Bad Co. Comfortably Numb, Neptune Brewery Sea Monkeys, Sppitting Feathures Thirst Quencher, Wantsome Fortitude and Blackjack Sticklebract IPA.
