LOCATION

To find the field you go to Gilroy Road and 60 yards on left is the entrance to Gilroy Park Nature area ...a 10 minute walk down the footpath finds the field on your left .good views from footpath .
I think the path comes out near Hoylake Station at the other end but have never gone that way ...maybe use google earth or similar for help if choosing that way .

Hi Dave I used to live half a mile away from the field in 2006 there were around 10 or 12 helicopters a day and around 40 on the Saturday and Sunday 2014 was very poor only a few on the Thursday and Friday and only about 15 over the last two days combined and they all made their approach over my back garden so i was well happy.
Yes if you follow on down the path it crosses the 5th and 6th fairways of the old Hoylake Municipal Golf Club then it goes up to Hoylake Railway station.

I was there about an hour after you still only G-TAJB in but they were moving the bus onto the track so i gather they were packing up.
