Parkgate to Saughall, 10 miles. Sunday, 28th March.

Today we walked from Parkgate to Saughall although we saw the river a lot less this time compared to out first day. It was warmer as well although still we needed a few layers. We started where we had finished last time and walked along a path that followed the river edge. There were more people today walking as well. We went much further in land this time but could still see the industry by Deeside and Shotton. We went through a few villages and small towns today like; Burton, Shotwick (where we visited the church) and Puddington (where we stopped for lunch). Today was longer than the first although it flew by. Most of the walk was through fileds and countryside although towards the end we had to walk by the A55 and over one of the bridges before making our way back into the surrounding fields. Along this final part we also walked past the site of Shotwick castle, which unfortunately had been blocked off. Then we could see Saughall again and we ended in the local pub for a well earned drink.
