I live within 5 mins walk of a beach in the Lancashire area .... the beach is clear to walk for about 2 or 3 miles in each direction (when the tide is out)

There is a nice 3 mile walk round the De Vere Hotel and golf course in the centre of Blackpool, dogs can be off lead for most of it if wanted, as it's footpath

As long as you generally don't mind 2 loony Boxers slobbering all over you and your dogs and knocking your dogs over and jumping on their heads, I'll come as well!!

so is china!

it seems as though its looking better for beaches...

NW beaches are
southport
formby
st annes
fleetwood
blackpool
morcambe

I think beaches are better.......ess non doggy people, and more space to bomb about and tire themselves out!

I wouldnt go to morcambe, spent a week there one day. Cant stand the place.

Ok, so sounds like a beach.....Can someone indicate which of them are further South and which are North etc?

have put them in order from north to south!

thanks A, I will do my AA autoroute to work out some distances and times . That will be the factor for me I think....

Sounds like your all going to have a great time, unfortunatley I wont be able to attend, as my lot would be going ballistic, if there are dogs running off lead around them lol and keeping 4 malamutes under contrl in that situation is nigh on impossible lol

Formby is a great beach, with pine woodland too.
