I can meet you at the end of the M58 as it's only 5 10 mins from me - what time were you thinking of.

Thanks for the offer!!! I was thinking around 7:15 ish?? Would this be enough time to get across the Mersey by 7:30 ish?? Think I'll be able to spot your car Gordon!! Do you know of anywhere to pull up and meet? Cheers

So are we on tomorrow? How long are we "in the car park" for? Where will everyone be if the car park is empty? Just realised we'll be driving past Cheshire Oaks and the wife "might" want to "nip in" !!!

Gareth
If you go past Cheshire Oaks to get to New Brighton from Leigh - you will only be doing about a 25 mile detour
It would easier for you to go down the East Lanc (A580) - straight run through to the Wallasey Tunnel then off for New Brighton at Junction1 M53
Tunnel toll is £1.30 each way though
and far cheaper if Shaz is coming and has convinced you the quicker route is past chesire oaks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Car park is a meeting point but i have a bit of work to do too and then on to Fish and Chips from a cracking chippy on the prom then suggest a pint/coke unless anyone has other plans

Problem with the Lanc's is all the lights ? I can get to the M53 in about 35 mins, at half six it can take that long to get to St Helens down the Lanc's? And if I go that way I'll have to through 'pool and I don't think my injections are up to date!!!! I'll do a multi map!

I work on the Wirral and live in West Derby (L'pool) by the time i get home and get back without eating (and meet David on my way back ) dry shredded wheat would be fantastic but please only bring one for me unless the chippy has good gravy to dunk it in.
Is there a better one with decent parking then that we could use?

Gordon Panic over the chippy is now owned by different people and supposed to be very nice, also there is a very good steak house/pub over the road to the car park we are meeting in. www.thequeensroyal.comlets hope the rain keeps off!
