Waine Street, St Helens.

User:Angel

Plans

Angel will walk from nearby Up Holland, going via Billinge. The shortest route is 7.5 miles, while this route is 8.2. However, the shorter route really isn't safe for pedestrians, so the extra mileage should bhe worth it. I'm expecting to arrive some time around 12, and maybe get lunch nearby, if anyone wants to join me.

Expedition

Only took 2 hours; that's pretty impressive. Took a little detour (the 'scenic route'), but otherwise followed the route I'd planned. Got a photo, then went off to KFC for lunch.

Link is now broken because of server failure; not removed because I'm currently in the process of sifting through backups. Is the "Expeditions without GPS" category still necessary? -- Angel (talk) 05:16, 30 January 2014 (EST)

Photos

Hope those coords are right
Is that the same car from the satellite view?
