As above, that’s where I’m going to spend several hours today, if they let me park.
I’m delivering a timber chipping machine to said location ,if they let me park up there to wait for machine to finish is there anything within walking distance to entertain me?
Or if, as is more likely they don’t let me stay, anywhere nearby to park up for a few hours ?
Hard shoulder and lane 1 will be coned off obviously
Thanks in anticipation
Jim
Just a short wall to train station from there. Or bus to the big outlet village?
Hi Jim,
The Boat Museum is very close to where you’ll be, and there’s plenty to see without paying.
Just got here sitting on hard shoulder on J8 waiting for traffic management to finish, should have been done for 8 but hey what the hell!

Hi Jim,
It doesn’t often happen that the sun shines here, but we knew you were arriving and pushed the boat out a bit.

That’s so true mate, but we’ve only got the Stanlow flares now that Calor Gas have had theirs dismantled.
Mission accomplished, left Ell. port at 4 pm back in yard 630 home 650 in my own armchair with a can of Black sheep, happy days
Great to meet Dieseldave today,nice to put a face to a name.
And yes , the sun shone in Ellesmere Port today
