Bit misleading linking to a car park about 7 miles from Formby??

Have a good one anyway!

Is that the meet up then or no?

Thinking about it, but it's nearly 3 hours away.

I’m sure you’d have a better attendance if you held this in Richmond park in London.

Thanks to Tony and Jim for organising and leading. About 15 of us turned up at some dubious car park next to the docks and actually got away spot on 9am.

Heading up the beach

Pointing out the local highlights (No, I couldn't see them either)

Here come the cavalry

Go on son! Give it some.

No-one is quite sure what Tony is doing here.

Back on the beach

It's this way. Are you sure?

Got back to the car park, got changed and about a minute after setting off back home it began to drizzle. At least it wasn't Richmond Park ...
