      Great Video. I hope you didn't get too close to the iron statues as I take my dog regular and he makes it his mission to pee on every one he can!

      Is it true that Wigan does have its own pier called “Wigan Pier”. Even though Wigan is further away from the sea and Blackpool and Liverpool are the closest to Wigan. I don’t understand why that Wigan has a pier.

      Congrats on such a long trek. Thought it may have been Southport the nearest. Well deserved refreshments and the relaxing train back i hope. Enjoy the summer x

      Are you mad? 9 hours walking, my legs ache just watching!
      But a great video as usual. Very well done 🎉🎉🎉
      Now John O Groats to Lands End 😂😂😂

      It was clearly an arduous task but what an interesting idea! for the sections away from main roads (assuming there were some) it must've felt like a much-needed escape, and definitely so once you got to the beach 🙂

      I've been planning to do my first long-distance walk nearby there soon from Southport to Halewood via the Trans Pennine Trail (which seems to be much more reliably paved :P) and I want to do it even more now so thanks for that 🙂

      What a walk ! Although you didn't walk to my old home town (Formby) you did walk through Thornton, which is where I went to high school 40 years ago now (Holy Family High). I now reside in Melbourne but hope to get back one day.

      Great vlog G and nice walk from the Wigan to the coast, I tell you something I live about as far as away from the coast you can get in the Uk so I’m never doing a walk like this lol.

      Merseyside don’t have signs since while the county does still exist it’s managed by smaller metropolitan boroughs instead of a traditional county council.
