High tide at Hoylake 20th January 2015
High tide at Hoylake 20th January 2015 The high tide at Hoylake was not huge – 9.9metres and we were a bit concerned that with high tide due at 10.42am that we wouldn’t have a very satisfactory experience as most of us would get there only an hour before.

Bittern at Budworth Mere : 30th December 2014
