      • some food and drink to keep you going

      Possible obstacles The route is out via Lang Lane which is a bit of a short sharp climb. The climb up Montgomery Hill in to Irby after that it is all down hill, well some of the way is.

      Lunch will be at Gift Cafe, Puddington (about 1.00) I am awaiting confirmation that we can have a set lunch of Scouse (blind scouse for vegitarians will be available) a hot drink and a piece of cake. The group have visited the cafe on a number of times over recent years. Should you have any dietary needs then please phone the cafe and make your own individual arrangements. Lucy 07708717111

      Hazards Riding a bicycle on public roads is inherently a risk, you can mitigate those risks by staying alert and being aware of other road users and anticipating their likely actions.

      After Lunch I will be returning back to West Kirby via Neston and the Wirral Way.

      Trains There is a train station in Neston (4 miles) or Hooton (5 miles) that will return you to the Wirral so I would advise you to bring money for both your lunch and the train should you choose to use them.
