I'm walking 30 miles in September
I’m walking 30 Miles in September and raising funds for families affected by dementia. I would be grateful for your support.
An £8 donation could cover the telephone costs of two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.
Thank you!

Day 10. Nothing much
Thursday 11th Sep Wet, miserable day. Decided to go round marine lake at 4.15 but there had been a high tide and I didn’t want to get my feet wet. Met Michael Derbyshire. Haven’t seen him since before Covid Share
Day 9. Grange Hill
Thursday 11th Sep Walked up thru the residential housing route & saw a little girl collecting shiny conkers with her mum. I gave her one. The view from the trig point was fab. On the way home, not far from the Ring O’ Bells, I bumped into Sue & Phil Smith walking their dog. Good catch-up. Share
Day 8. Red Rocks
Thursday 11th Sep Walked along the Prom and on down to Red Rocks with Randall. Deceptively sunny at first, but v breezy when heading back across the top end of the golf course. Just avoided the rain. Share
Day 7. The Day of Rest 😂😂
Monday 8th Sep In truth it was a pretty wet horrible day. But I did walk to church and back.
Day 6 Grange Cemetery
Monday 8th Sep Walked up Laing Lane and bumped into Fiona formerly from Walsh’s Pharmacy. Also had seen Heather Chapman. Went into the cemetery and found Di Baddeley’s headstone. Also found Gourley’s grave and that of Headmaster Glasspool’s son - a 1940 victim of WW2. Walked on up Black Horse Hill and down Village Road. Share
Day 5. War Memorial
Friday 5th Sep Up the hill to the West Kirby War Memorial. Walked up the main road and came back down the far side down past Belmont Rd & in to town. Glorious views from the top over the sea to Hilbre Island and to the wind farms. Share
Day 4. To the Lion
Friday 5th Sep Usual walking about West Kirby. Main outing was through Ashton Park, past the flooded bowling green to the White Lion. Met Neil for an afternoon catchup Share
Day 3. To the shops
Wednesday 3rd Sep Walked from home into the shops in West Kirby via Ashton Park. Called in Morrison’s and then home along the blustery Prom. The windsurfers were having a great time.
Day 2. Helen’s BBQ up Black Horse Hill
Wednesday 3rd Sep Walked up to Helen’s on Black Horse Hill for end of summer BBQ with the Drunken Singers. Walked up with a full back pack and walked home with a full stomach and an empty back pack. Choir begins next week. No singing tonight, just a lorra, lorra, laffs. Share
Day One Round the Marine Lake
Tuesday 2nd Sep Walked around the Marine Lake with Randall. It’s 2300 metres which is approx one and a half miles. We then extended the walk to go through town and home via Ashton Park. So we probably covered about 3 miles.
Walking back to Memory
Monday 1st Sep Mum's just been diagnosed with vascular dementia. We haven't told her. What's the point? She's really chirpy at the moment.Thank you to my Sponsors
