IT WAS a joy to take part in the anti-fracking walk across the muddy sands of Dee to Hilbre Island on Sunday, carrying banners.

There were about 80 of us.

After a picnic lunch and a photo call, we wended our way back to West Kirby.

A good time was had by all and an important message was put out to show our disgust at the idea of fracking in the area.

Thanks to all who attended.
