DO NOT CROSS DIRECT TO HILBRE

Also, dont cross from Hoylake, as although its pretty safe, ya got more chance of being cut off by the tide.

Was thinking of going for some pictures
but looks like i now need a boat.

Lol, unless ye want to suffer from exposure/are very well prepared for the elements, I wouldnt recommend it until the weather in nice to be honest.

On a sunny day though, it is bliss to go out there, so peaceful, especially when its not a weekend/school holiday.

Pity we aint had many sunny periods this year, I was hoping to make it out there for my photography website (went out last year and got some excellent photo's but they got lost when me hdd broke), but overall the weather has been lame.

Shame the pub that used to be on the island years ago isnt there anymore cause it would make alot of money if it was turned into a hotel

Lol yer too right, but its a bit of a mess inside now. I got the chance to go inside it when they had a Telelgraph station open day last year, got talking to the ranger.

They are supposedly renovating it to become a learning/wildlife centre dunno when its supposed to be done for though, at the the time it was sposed to be 2008.

Yer its a nice little island that the Cave which is on the island is supposed to be haunted by a demon but thats in a book it just could be a legend LOL

< Mark Checks Tide info again lol >

Good find.

I'm suprised it was high tide around 4pm, as I was working down at the Manchester Ship Canal in Eastham, and it said 8 metres.

I thought the mersey was a lot deeper than that!

ha hja its a good place to go but aint been for a while
