Today's walk (Part 2)
Pressed on from Thornton Hough to Raby, along the lane, and then onwards to Willaston through paths I can't remember walking before, or if I have, must have been many years ago.
Need to get my mental map of footpaths further down The Oblong sorted! Finished at Hooton Station

'The Wirral Stone' (3 sandstone oblongs) on Harlow Road is believed to mark the centre of the Hundred of Wirral (Medieval administrative area from the 5th-15th centuries) and to be the source of the name Willaston.

Today's walk took me from Brotherton Park, through the Dibbinsdale nature reserve, Raby Mere, then across the fields to Willaston, before finishing at Hooton station.
Spotted a big flock of rooks (I assume) in a field of wheat stubble.
Express train from Hooton to Birko Central - no stops! 👍

Today's walk was to tidy up all the footpath loose ends I didn't manage earlier this week, between Thornton Hough and Raby, then up to Benty Heath Lane and over Bromborough Golf Course.
My mental map of the whole area down towards Willaston is much improved now 👍
