the other side

Last weekend, we took the 5 minute train to Wirral, which is a Peninsula accross the Merseyside river, the other side of Liverpool. Yup, north part of Wirral area faces the sea, so they have the beach, the pretty pretty beaches and blue sea.
In fact, they even have a ''Wirral Walk& Cycle about'' brochure, that guides us to walking tracks and cycling tracks as well.
At first, we all planned to cycle a track - rent a bike, and cycle and also walk 2 pathways ..

but we didn't get to rent a bicycle anywhere in that area. that was so, so disappointing. they said the nearest place to rent a bike is at Chester. =.= that is like 1 hour from there. apa la!
so we decided to walk 3 walkpaths! thats what we planned lah early on that day..

and most important of all...
2 macho man from GLASGOW came over to Liverpool!
Sree
and my dear dear JIUNNY!
Jiun wanted to surprise me at first, but didn't get to.
sigh, his surprises always 'tak jadi' at the end.
aww... nevermind:)

In the train to Birkenhead station.
Jiun and Sree at the back..
they were shocked when they came,
they said we girls are so happy-go-lucky...
happy laughing all the time:D


River Mersey, Birkenhead and Liverpool - the words in BOLD.

WALK ONE - Mockbeggar Trail
Starting from Moreton Station, which is the northern part of Wirral.
We had to follow a never-ending footpath between trees and bushes..
''are we on the right track?'' i wondered. ....
well, i was the navigator... so obviously i'll be abit paranoid!

But we managed to reach the road! Phew!

The long and straight road to a lighthouse, called Leasowe Lighthouse. which i dont really know what so famous or nice about it. Take photo only lah!

You can see Troy at the back there, always and forever disturbing lovely pictures. :P

You are... you are my fire...
Backstreet Girls!
Missing one - Li shan!! The Green girl!
After getting to know Lishan for one month, she is so damn damn damn super obsessed with the colour GREEN.
oh my god, u really cannot imagine how she is so into GREEN!
Go green!

And the beautiful sea.... overlooking the Liverpool bay..
This picture was taken on timer, behind us.

Just imagine if we actually looked back and the camera is not there. mati lah sudah.


Lucky us, it was really a hot, sunny day.

Hot, hot day.. and we finished that walk along the coast after 1 hour and a half.


WALK 2 - Red Rocks Trail

Feminine jumps!

Sree-X,
Jiun-K
& Troy- Ninja turtle!

Please note: Danger - this walk should not be attempted at high tide.
hmm, i should have guessed...
its gonna be at a bigggggg area of sand.

hmm....... and did i mention 'WET-muddy-makes ur shoe dirty kinda SAND!


arghh... didn't want to continue walking on the sand for one hour.. .. but ah what the heck, since we're all here,
let's just walk.

and we walked like 30 minutes on this stupid brown land! =(
our shoes were turned into shoes brown muddy bases.
EW!


we finally reached our destination!

the RED ROCKS!


Windy oh wind, sunny oh sun.

Red rocks.. red rocks red rocks redrocksredrocks...

we got fed up and decided to continue on our Journey to the west... :)

Troy's smashing kick kicks the pollen everywhere! This shot's cool right! ?



We passed the dunes at Red Rocks Marsh Nature Reserve..where there were thick reed-beds, supposed to see toads and colourful dragonflies, but didn't manage to.:(

we ended up at a beach called Dee Lane Slipway crowded with windsurfers and canoeist.

and we rested for a while, eating yellow bananas and red apples. duh!


Walk 3 - Thurstaston Common Trail

Ching Ching at the pathway to the Thurstaston Woods, and continuing to the Thurstaston Hill, where we can see the breathtaking views of WALES!

I know everyone was tired, but we were still smiling happily. hehehe.

Stopped at the travel centre spot.

when Lishan and HuiLin went to get some maps, we waited on the bench stoning.

I was tired. but i could still go.

Due to majority's decision,

because it was going to be 6 in the evening, we decided to call it a day, and have a good dinner. YAY!

So we went to ''Farmer's Arms'', a Restaurant Bar.


I ate LAMB Steak! =D

Arrived home about 8 something, tired.

Terus slept.

but waked up hungrily for some KEBAB that night.

Thanks Lieojiun dear for coming down, really really appreciated it.

9 hours journey from Glasgow was totally tiring i know...

I'll come to Glasgow when possible k!

Miss ya.
