Grand Tour of The Wirral : 22nd January 2016
Although there had been a high tide on the Dee Estuary, it wasn’t particularly high (8.8m) and it had been at 9.48am and we didn’t get to our first stop until around 10.30am. Be that as it may we wanted a day out and I suggested a round trip of some of our regular haunts : New Brighton, Hoylake, West Kirby and Burton Mere Wetlands. It was interesting to visit these sites at a relatively low (and receding) tide but we were not sure if it was going to be a bit of a wash-out or not. As it happened we had some nice additions to our new year list.
