Easter Sunday stroll on the Wirral

A change from the big skies of our pub-strolls of the last few weeks. A walk along the opposite side of the Dee with the Ravine and waterfalls of "The Dungeon", St Bartholomew's Church...

...and the battlemented tower in its churchyard...

woodland and common of Thurstaston Common, and generally outstanding scenery. This also included fine views across the Dee like this one towards Hillborough Island.

This was a revisited walk; our last visit was on the 2nd May 2004! Looking at the notes I made then we apparently got lost and "the last bit along the Wirral Way a bit tedious". We didn't get lost this time and sadly the tedium was still present on the last stretch.
Toasted sandwiches, Cheese and ham for me and cheese and tomato for Chris, finished off a very enjoyable 6.5 mile walk. Sadly the football result later that day wasn't so good; Liverpool lost to Man U.
