(C) Golf Courses of the Wirral from Bromborough Station

10:00 Wednesday April 26 2023

Current Participants: 0 space(s) available

    To celebrate the return of the British Open to Wirral in July, this is a ride of just over 41 miles at Grade C around the golf courses (past and present) of the Wirral.  About a third of the distance will be on unpaved gravel tracks (as on the Wirral Way), so a hybrid may be more suitable for this route than a road bike.

    The ride leader, John Hampson, will be outside Bromborough Railway station by the Merebrook Public House at 09:45

    The route (On Komoot: Golf Courses of the Wirral) goes through, or past, all 19 golf courses on the Wirral:
