Location

From the google maps satellite photo, this appears to be on the pavement in Waine Street, St Helens. (Actually, if I click the "Google" link below the map it comes up in Eccleston. If I click the Google Maps link in Peeron it reports Waine Street)

Participants

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.

Tracklog

I'll download this once I get home

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