Hilbre Island
Am going on my First visit to Hilbre Island of the year this Saturday so thought i would use the chance to post about the island since few people seem to know about it. hilbre island is of the coast of west kirby and you can reach it at low tide as when high tide comes your stuck on the island (yes thats the aim of it!) your normally stuck on there for 4-5 hours but looking at the tide time me and my mates going to be stuck on there for 6 and half hours with high tide being at 11:40 and low tide being at 6:36, loads to do on the island, old buildings to photo, seals swimming in the channel between you and wales, old lifeboat station. i like hilbre as a lot of the time your the only people on the island so you can just relax for a while, more details can be found at http://www.wirral.gov.uk/my-services/lei...hilbre-isl if by chance anyone does go then see you there! ps if u want more info just ask me!

RE: Hilbre Island
as it stands saturday is the day picked as my companion is traveling from bolton and the tide times are very nice this saturday http://www.tidetimes.org.uk/hilbre-islan...s-20130608 we will be setting of at 9 from the slipway giving us 2 hour 42 mins to complete the walk (should take no longer than an hour 10) i also found out more information include the friends of hilbire open days http://www.deeestuary.co.uk/hilbre/open.htm EDIT: high tide is only 8.40m, every other time i been on the island its been towards 9 and 9.11m so the little cave should be available to sit in as well should the weather go downhill :P For Blog Posts Containing all the latest in the local Bus Scene The 2002 Bus Blog Subscribe to my Youtube Channel, Updated regularly!
