Hiekel_Essterol Hiekel_Essterol Newbeee Registered: 2nd May 2008 Posts: 12 Loc: Bidston	Has anyone tried riding the route from New Brighton to wherever it ends in Cheshire? I was thinking of doing it along with a video recorder and editing it down into portions. Where is the eventual end of the route? _________________________ Paul

philmch philmch Member Registered: 27th Dec 2007 Posts: 54 Loc: Wirral	Route 56 Starts at Seacombe Ferry and ends up in Parkgate. Looks like it's mainly road riding with a little off-road too. I've done most of it but not the whole shebang in one go. The Wirral Way is great when dry by the way. The section just outside Neston with shear cliffs on each side is fantastic. Almost like something from a forgotten city.

MattLFC MattLFC Wiki Master Registered: 14th Aug 2004 Posts: 16177 Loc: Moreton/E.Port	So Route 56 is essentially, the Wirral Way, albeit not as far as Hooton? I remember walking the Wirral Way quite a few times in my youth, and we always ended up at Seacombe Ferry (unless we were really running behind schedule, in which case we would end up terminating at Moreton Shore). $\:\)$ _________________________ My MySpace \| My Bebo \| My Personal Blog \| My YouTube \| My Photography Website

Forum Addict Registered: 22nd Aug 2007 Posts: 1550 Loc: Birkenhead	Been there wore the t-shirt $\:\)$ done seacombe to parkgate and to hooton many of times great ride. Only reason i went on this trip as it was great to stop off at Parkgate for seafood and ice cream then continue to hooton then cause i was lazy got on the train.. But sometimes i road back through to west kirby to get dinner then get the train home cause i would of been knackered.. _________________________ Lee Mills Bebo Profile
