Hi there! my name is Norman Lidbury and I've been a member of the Ramblers Association for over 25 years.
My channel is a guide to walking in the countryside without having to use your car.
The videos will show you walking routes, using OpenStreetMap and I'll also show you how to get to the start of each walk using public transport and more importantly how to get back to civilisation after you've finished the walk.
The other resources to help you get about on public transport will be Google Maps, Traveline, National Rail Enquiries, Moovit and National Bus Checker.
I'll provide upon request .gpx files of my routes, that can be used on specialist satellite navigators such as Satmap, or apps such as ViewRanger that can be used on your mobile phone.
Finally, I'll talk about the type of gear you'll need to be able to walk safely in all conditions, such as boots, waterproof clothing etc.

Interesting history...those forgot Coal miner areas ... Very pleasant area . I bet to walk ....🚶
that looks like a nice walk.... I did go to pex hill quarry nice and peaceful...
Oh great I love to learn the history of Formby. Was the lighthouse ever on the edge of the sea? Did you miss the pillbox off. I didnt know about that neuclear bunker. In the feild heading to Maghull round the corner from The Punchbowel and the Church are pipes coming out the ground in the feild are they bunkers too just before the hill? Do more vids like this please.
Thanks for the video. I lived in Formby (on Raven Meols Lane) for many years and didn't have a clue about the beach resort - let alone hotels! I used to play around those very sand dunes and in the rubble as a kid with my mates. It was a great place to build dens and explore. We would spend hours there until it started to get dark then made our way home for tea. I remember that the beach in the early seventies used to be closed off every now and then due to gelignite being washed ashore. I used to work a bit further along the beach as a kid at Altcar Rifle range. Marking targets and manning the red no go area flags. I think I was around 14 then. A bit later in my early teens we used to have all night parties in the pinewoods - around 30-50 of us sometimes. Until the cops used to come and close us down. Formby is a really nice place to visit. The Village has barely changed. The beach and dunes are excellent. Happy memories! Thanks
WHen I saw "Station-station walk" and Rainhill station I thought you were going to be ambitious and walk Rainhill to Formby 😄
Thanks Norman for producing the excellent video of Formby. The video is more enjoyable as we just been to visit the site last Friday. Meghan seems to know every inch of the trail.
Looks like a nice walk, I like the odd walk myself. But in dint go as much these days, I have Parkinson’s, and dint always feel yo to it. I love walking and railways so your videos are a nice mix., im building a virtual model railway based on Earlestown junction have a look if Ty have the time, my latest video is a flyover update thanks for sharing your walks,
Is sorry fir any spelling errors I’m dyslexic and I have a tremor this morning lol
Hi, I have done bits of this walk using different routes. Love this route idea though. Do you have a link to your map route? Fern X
I have a gpx file for you, but I'm not sure how to link it to the video ( as you can see from my intro's, I'm old and blind). Is my email address in my profile- email me and I'll send you the file. Norman
Good film of Formby
Where can I download this route.
send me the request to normanlidbury@yahoo.com, and I’ll send the .gpx file back to you.
The Manor Farm was actually converted to a pub in 1977 so over 40 years ago!
Thanks Norman, another very good informative walk with some special viewing points to be seen.
Good info on kit, needing boots l will look at Millits. I liked the walk and talk vidio, with visual map of route as well.
Aww love this . I walk a route that coincides with about half of this . So this variation has opened my eyes to new variations . Thank you so much
Very good introduction Norman. Good to hear the travel facts information. Will continue viewing for future walks recorded.
