May 27, 2023,Meet up with the family in Flintshire 👍🏻👍🏻

Met up with the family on my birthday in Flintshire we visited Flint Castle and the Duke of Lancaster Ship.

June 15, 2022,The Wirral to Prestatyn Part 2

Two more friends joined me at Chester. We cycled along the Dee. Traces of industry in decline; the Tata steel works and remains of the iron ore colliery. By sunset we were at the pretty coastal town of Prestatyn which retains its old world charm.
