I live in Newcastle and a few yrs a go I got the train to Leeds and cycled the full length of the canal to Liverpool to my sister's in Walton . A couple of days later I got the train up to Carlisle and cycled the Hadrian back to Newcastle . Liverpool is a nice city especially the riverfront
I think there's a cycle path that will take you through Crosby to Formby, where you can join the Formby bypass. The Good Catch does excellent F&C. Used to know the Running Horses as well. Southport to Blackpool would be a good challenge.
Seemed like a lovely day for a ride. Personally, I'd have stuck closer to the coast, but I know you've already done the route from the Albert Dock to Crosby. You can carry straight on from Hall Rd to Hightown, then pick up the path again by Hightown station, alongside the railway and the Altcar Army Training camp to Formby. After you've taken the Fisherman's Path route through the pinewoods behind Woodvale, you can actually keep to the railway for a little while longer as far as Ainsdale station. There's a very bike-friendly cafe next to the station called Mecycle cafe and bike workshop. Then you can take the coast road to Southport....or the train home. :)
Something wrong here.5 and half hours 30 mile on a bike.Thats not that much quicker than walking.A fit walker can walk 4 mile per hour.And they can eat and drink wile walking.Yes 30 mile is a long way to walk.But not to a fit marathon jogger.And fit joggers can run marathon between 3 -4 hours.When we were kids we used to cycle 22 miles ish in about 2 hours.to southport.And then ride back.

I'm gonna give this a go myself once the weather improves. Thanks for the idea. Great video.
Awesome job mate
Great video buddy, watched both your videos, keep up the great work. Also, love the Scouse accent.

Yes it runs from the promenade at Crosby up between the railway line and the Altcar Army base.
Great camera work! I've ridden most of that myself.

There's nothing wrong except that you did not have all your brain cells fully working when you made that comment!
The journey is the destination.
