2 weeks ago me and my daughter decided to take 2 of the dogs to Hoylake where we assumed the beach is much cleaner
Big mistake
Before we left to go get the train lovely and clean



Hoylake














we had to get the train home too



think we will stick to New Brighton in future

LoL at least you didnt drive back

Bet that took some bathing to get off

for who???

I thought everyone knew not to walk on the beach beyond the lifeboat station.

Ha! mucky pups!

what you on about???? the beach was between Hoylake and Meols,
there are no signs to say not too.
whats that got to do with duh

Tilly, wet sand can often SPELL DANGER, thats unless you know the the same area is dry prior to tide been in.

Too many pointless words (above).

Bet the dogs loved it. We went to West Kirby and Sooty (the old dog) lay down in the mud. Bath time when we got home, but fun.

That is mostly Meols beach. It will be like that at this time of year. The section you walked through between the old baths site in Hoylake to Dovepoint slipway in Meols is the muddiest section of the lot. I would not walk that way any time of year. The best route to avoid getting caked in mud I recommend is the section from Kings Gap Hoylake to Red rocks at the end of Stanley road. From there you could walk the next part to West Kirby. They are the best parts of the beach over here. Caldy beach to Thurstuson is another good one.

Looks like you 'stuck to' Hoylake from the look of your trainers

Dogs look like they had fun

could do with some signs me thinks it was fun anyways.

they sure did we walked to Moreton station from Hoylake hoping it would dry them out a bit no such luck tho

thanks for that Kevin.
we were going to go to west Kirby today, thought the weather was going to be like yesterday, anyway we will have to wait a week or so now

I know, they were Lacoste too
they loved it snooze

great pics...
I can see two members of your expedition who would not hesitate going back for another go....
Lovely dogs by the way..

I know which 2 your on about and certainly isn't me or my daughter
thanks for saying my dogs are lovely
even when they are covered in mud

all nice and clean again

Hoylake beach was always very muddy and Horrible even when I was a child in the Mid 70's, My grandmother God bless her used to live in the Government road flats over looking the prom so when we visited of a Sunday we would go down to the sand and we only did it the once because it was so muddy ! - good memories though.

mid 60's we would go there every Sunday in the summer Hols because there used to be like a religious service run by the Hoylake Baptist Church there. me mum went all the time and we would all sing hymns and pray on the beach.
(I always prayed the tide would come in and we could all go home) Bank Holidays the youth club leaders would let us stay until dark and have sausage sizzle night them where the days.

Nice pics! Dogs love a good run around on open spaces - especially on wet muddy sands!

thanks Paul,
trouble is I'm getting too old to keep up with them lol!
