<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yes it was another enjoyable walk from <b>Freshfield Station</b>, where we parked our car, to the <b>Bar Mio</b> for lunch, a distance of <b>5.22Km</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nice to see so many others enjoying such a beautiful Pine Forest with even more signs of spring during our walk.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Drinks</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Chris enjoyed a Latte and </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- I had Beck's Blue (Another non-alcoholic beer that's popular with other pubs)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Chris opted for soup of the day - <b>Mushroom Soup</b> and</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A different start to today's "<b>Liverpool Winter Walk</b>" as Chris and I met up with <b>Phil Green</b> (<i>Communications Officer Liverpool City Council</i>) for a video interview about our "<b><i>Liverpool Parks Winter Walks</i></b>". </span><br />
