Well a fantastic day was had by all who went on this one, as the weather gods really shone down on everyone, it was more like July than October. After meeting Barry Turner and a few of the Nomads at the Little Chef in Eastham, 15 scooters rode on through the tunnel to Liverpool. After myself and some others got split up and lost around Kirby,we eventually found the Beaufort Arms pub at Burscough and soon realised that this was one hell of a turnout of scooters.
We left just after 12-30 and arrived in Southport sometime after 1pm, taking the scenic route with splendid views across the marshes where we could see Blackpool tower clearly in the distance. We rode down the whole length of Lord Street in Southport and eventually parked up outside Funland. There was free hotpot available at Leo's Bar, fish and chips, ice creams and even funfair rides for those that fancied them !!! Also well done to Eugene for winning Best Vespa in the custom show.
We left about 3pm and headed off down the lovely route through the sand dunes of Ainsdale and Formby and then into Liverpool through Bootle and down to the tunnel. A little detour was suggested to the White Lion pub in Childer Thornton and we did not have to be asked twice, as it was a Thwaites real ale pub the beer went down very easily.
All in all a great ride-out to finish the season before winter sets in.
