Not all hard work

All this six peaks lark seems a bit easy! An ice cream on the Liverpool docks whilst waiting for the rest of the team to arrive followed by tea, flapjack and beer on the ferry (not forgetting the slightly rushed pizza express in Liverpool before the ferry) and then a couple of beers getting to know the team in the evening at our relatively plush hotel! Looking forward to kicking of the walking at 1pm tomorrow after our final breeding!

The local brew


Anyway, Fastyr Mie (Good evening in manx, apparently)

First views of Douglas

On the ferry with our banner. The size is a bit of a problem with the wind!

Windfarms

One of the many windfarms we saw in the Irish Sea

Leaving Liverpool

We've left the drivers to a trip to Blackpool, and headed off to the Isle of Man. A beautiful evening as we pulled out - here are the views!

Arrival in Liverpool

We've made it to the port in Liverpool! Photo of the Liver Building as proof.

Currently waiting for the Hampton Hikers so we can go for dinner before catching the ferry to the Isle of Man.

Guys dont be suprised if you are still getting emails from Roger.  He has got his work along.

And we're off!!!

Good news - we're finally off! Now heading for Liverpool to get the ferry to the Isle of Man.

A minor hiccup as we couldn't get out because of the bin lorry, but we got a tearful farewell as we left.
