I always look forward to the start from Ness Gardens Cafe, as I can have a lie in. Not so, the other 7or 8 who were all there before me: Alan, Dave H, Dave & Liz, Ivan, Norman and Trevor. A late guest appearance saw Jim & friend, just back from Le Tour, but they weren’t joining us for the ride today.
The route was – Leighton, Thornton Hough, Irby and (unusually) to bits of Wirral not covered before, Arrowe Park, Upton in Wirral, Noctorum and down through Birkenhead Park to Seacombe Ferry. Here we stopped for our resident photographer Ivan to capture a picture of The Ferry across the Mersey, aka the cruise ship “Crystal Serenity”. She was on an 11 day British Isles cruise and berthed across at Pier Head, the ship was a fitting backdrop to today’s photo. I had a meeting to attend, so left the group just before the lunch stop at The Egremont Ferry. Dave H / Norman were going to take over leading back round the North and West coast of the peninsula.

The meal was excellent as usual but believe it or not the Cains ran out on the first pull. We returned via the sea front and Wirral Way with only a threat of rain to put us off diverting via the jetty and footpath in West Kirby. Another great day out.
