[Den]

or just keep driving round in a circle..

surely if i kept going round in a circle it would cause traffic problems :?

[kingpleb]

Follow signs down M58 or whatever to southport, turn off and follow more signs. go down a long straight and youll come to a funny junctioned rounabout, go straight on, next roundabout take 3rd exit iirc and then at the next roundabout take the 3rd/2nd exit which should take you over a bridge. follow down and turn left at lights.
Then at the next roundabout 2nd exit, roundabout after that take 2 exit and then at next roundabout 2nd exit and your on the beach!!!

[Den]

just hope the tides nt in then eh :P

aaah next uni year will be good, will have my car and far enough north here so that i can make the northern meet.

Well as you all know i got back safe, even having to get on to the motorway myself after the lights changed to red at the roundabout.

Just hope i didn't get busted by cameras, on the way up and during the day, i took it easy back home after you guys left me, but that couldn't be helped.

I didn't see any of dens birthday cake nor jelly babies. :lol:
