Liverpool

It is about 19 miles from Wigan to Liverpool and the rain and wind was in my face. I had noticed over the last few days that I have been drinking less water and have concluded that I must be taking in rain water though my skin by osmosis! As I approached Merseyside, I was astonished to see burnt out houses and even a fire gutted church! I decided against a rest and I'm sure my pedal rate increased rapidly, and soon Anfield appeared on the top of a small hill surrounded by terraced houses. I had to go to 69 Anfield Road to meet Brian Hall my contact. I wondered as I waited whether it was the Brian Hall the 70's Anfield Legend and as soon as I saw him I knew it was him and he confirmed there is only one Brian Hall. I shook him firmly by the hand and said how pleased I was to meet him. He took me over the road to Anfield and presented me with a signed football. We had our photos taken in the tunnel touching the ‘This is Anfield’ sign and at pitch side. What an honour to meet this man and again we shook hands as I left.
