Well, Southport was beautiful yesterday, Massive sand dunes to pick you way through, and it being loose enoughh to get a feel for what they'll be like in the Sahara. All i can say is Tough, and energy sapping! I'll definately be heading over again, and great as my mates 'in laws live 5 mins away from them.
After some fun  (see link to video of my attempt to 'sand surf') along thebeach running it was time to head home.
That meant cycling across to Omskirk, down through St Helans, and onto Newton le willows. then down across the ship canal and back to Sale. nice 47 mile ride, in about 3 hrs..

Today, rest day. Heading to my sis's for the day to collect my birthday present of an Evo 2 Raidlight rucksack! :)
