Chester Wetland

Thursday 02nd April

I was in Chester for an a.m. Dental Appointment and decided to spend the rest of the day paying my first visit to Chester Wetland. The wetland is inside the Countess of Chester Country Park and is bisected by the Shropshire Union Canal. The Parkgate Road entrance is 200 yards from a Bus Stop with many other access points around the Park. You can also walk along the towpath from City Road if you're not overloaded with "stuff". 2.5 mile walk and there's a bench at the gate so you can rehydrate and take aboard some protein.

To be continued.

 

 

Birding at Heysham

Monday 23rd - Friday 27th March

  1. Ocean Edge Holiday Park, Lancashire  -  ///masterpiece.deciding.vitamins

 

Gale-force winds and torrential rain plus near freezing temperatures hindered the bird watching part of my holiday. However I enjoyed the break and will return to the area when conditions allow. A good Park in an excellent location and, to be honest, would need more than a mid-week break to see all the local birding hotspots; in good weather that is!

The Lodge was about twice the size of an old folks bungalow and I could happily live in one of these. It was also right on the sea front. What3Words   ///running.triathlon.coast

  1. 755 Bus Timetable. Limited Service between Morecambe and Ocean Edge Holiday Park.
