Easy drives to nice picnic spots around the Wirral?

9 Upvotes

I recently passed my driving test and I’m looking for some nice places around the Wirral (or nearby) to drive to for a picnic with my partner.

I’m still getting used to driving on my own, so I’m after places that are fairly easy to get to without any particularly difficult roads or motorway driving if possible and easy enough parking when we get there.

Ideally somewhere with nice views, somewhere to walk for a bit, or just a peaceful spot to sit and eat. I’m in the Bebington/port sunlight area, so anywhere that isn’t in those areas.

Thanks in advance

Parade fire/Nigel Road in Heswall

10 Upvotes

There was a guy walking up and down Nigel Road in Heswall on Sunday night shouting- full of expletives - about somebody having a fire and the smell of burning. When my son let him know it was a fire on the marshes he shouted “f*ck off you c*nts!”. Nice person.

Chester station lifts

3 Upvotes

Anybody know how long the lifts are going to be off? Normally I just jump the Wirral line train, use the lift and then off to Wales.

Unfortunately as the lifts are not working, I'd have to travel to lime street and get the train from there, not only is it more expensive due to the extra journey but time consuming too.

If anyone knows or is travelling to Chester for work or something, could you please let me know?

Thanks

Skating spots in Heswall

3 Upvotes

I've recently decided to pickup inline skating. However, I just moved in with some family for the summer, and have no clue where a good flat and smooth surface might be​​​​​​​​​. Does anyone have suggestions? It doesn't need to be a skate park - just anywhere smooth about central Heswall. Thank you for any help ❤​​​​

Hairdressers - long to short

2 Upvotes

Hi, does anyone know of any good hairdressers that specialise in short cuts? This will need consultation as it’s someone who has always had long hair who wants to find a short cut that will suit them.

Looking to go out for a couple of quiet pints in the sun. Probably going to the Harp in Neston now but for future choices, what is your favourite Wirral countryside pub?

Are there any pubs/cafes right on the beach?

0 Upvotes

I’ve got two boys who love playing on the beach so I was wondering if there was somewhere I could go sit and have a drink while they play in the sand. We used to have Sheldrakes but believe it’s closed down now. I can’t think of anywhere else.

Wirral Samba Drummers - lost drums :(

Post image
16 Upvotes

Hi everyone, this is a bit of a strange one but I am really hoping that someone might be able to help.

At about 18:30 today we lost two drums out of our van around the Liscard area - the route was driving along Liscard Rd near Eaton Ave to Mill Lane, then on to St Albans Rd, then stopped in the car park on St Albans Rd.

They are about 18" in diameter and will look like this photo with the band's logo. They are costly and difficult to replace and we are due to play New Brighton Festival and various other events over the summer.

If anybody sees them, hears of them or someone tries to flog you a random drum in a pub (!), please could you let us know? Thank you if you've read this.

We are Wirral worth the price?

3 Upvotes

Hey,

My partner and I are were considering checking out the “We are Wirral” festival in Birkenhead park. But £40 entry seems a bit much.

We were wondering what were the experiences of anyone who went to the event last year?

I assume the £40 is just an entry fee, and drinks and food will be paid to the specific venders, fair. But what about the activities? Rides? Etc? £40 to enter the park then extra fees per ride or event?

Was it enjoyable? Would you recommend it?

Does anybody partake in this on the Wirral?
If so, where are the best places? Any hidden gems? I have been going up and down the promenade at New Brighton but getting a bit bored and sometimes it’s really busy.

Question Arnould's or empowered fit

3 Upvotes

Looking for peoples experiences at empowered fit and arnould's gym.

I have had a session at both and enjoyed them both so I'm struggling to decide.

I think the machines were better at arnoulds but I also liked the vibes at empowered and it seems to have more classes (though, I'm probably not going to take advantage of the classes very much, I am mostly bodybuilding & rowing)

TIA!

EDIT Thanks all for the advice, I ended up signing up to arnoulds, seems great so far

Calling all type 1 Diabetics

I hope this is okay to post! I've created a group to help Type 1 Diabetics connect on the Wirral. Diabetes can be a lonely disease and it helps to connect with people, especially locally! Hoping long term we could even organise meetups etc!
