My Profile 		Hi all
I am new to this forum and I am looking for a little off road help
The wife and I are looking for an off road route (or as little road route as possible) from Ainsdale into Liverpool docks. Any advice would be gratefully received as we are just visiting and do not know the area at all

Thanks kevo

Hi,
If you join the footpath off the coast rd that goes into the pine woods opposite pinfold lane!! You can then follow the railway line pretty much all the way to formby then either follow your nose through formby or go onto the cyclepath along side the formby bypass towards hightown! You want to pick up the b5193 and then head towards little Crosby. Try and pick up dibb lane or pick up signs for Hall rd or blundellsands railway station!! There is a few signs for the anthony gormly statues at crosby seafront!! Once you are on the sea wall its a straight route to liverpool just follow the river!! At seaforth you do have to go on to the main liverpool southport rd which is pretty busy! I go over the flyover but you can go underneath then drop down onto the lower dock rd. It would take me an hr and a half or so i reckon so good luck!

Ps i'm new as well so hope i've been of help
