When I arrived in the parking area with my brother it was late afternoon and we hadn't eaten, so the first order of business was to proceed to junction 4 and get a burger to eat... don't tell anyone at the gym!
No this isn't baywatch, and this July was a little chilly for going on the beach.
From this location, it is possible to see the Seaforth Docks where large container ships load and unload. There are plans in the pipeline to create additional berths so that even bigger ships can load and unload.
Wind turbines have been built along the dock to provide environmentally friendly power.
We moved closer to the junction to get a better view of the action.
At the end of the race the top three cars did a lap of honour.
