On a bright sunny day a couple of dozen intrepid ramblers set off from Freshfield Station.
The walk originally planned, had to be amended several times due to circumstances beyond our control.
Fisherman’s Path was closed to enable Sefton Council to carry out repairs to the path surface, so we headed straight down Victoria Road to the National Trust Squirrel reserve.
Here we made our way through the pinewoods and on to the sand dunes where we met a major obstacle. Our arrival on the beach co-incided exactly with the Spring Tide at its highest point. Fortunately there was a narrow bit of beach untouched by the tide so we were able to walk along for a couple of hundred yards before we were faced with a choice of starting to paddle or to stay dry and climb back over the dunes. We opted to stay dry, climbed back over the dunes and made our way through the car park. After meandering through some former asparagus fields we reached the Pinewoods pub where we had a very enjoyable meal.
