Sammy signs off, for now....

Looking_out_on_sale_water_park

Well, my week of adventure on the Mersey has finally come to an end - I've travelled from the start of the river in urban Stockport, with cyclists, canoeists, ferry tours, ramblers, rowers, sailors and even on board a powerboat, to reach my destination, Pier Head, Liverpool. As befits a pioneering fish like myself, even the Mayor of Liverpool was there to greet me. I was delighted to see some of the people who helped me along the way (see the picture below), and to get my fins on firm ground.

I've put the best of my pictures from the week onto a flickr page here, so that you can relive the highs and lows with me.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped me along the way, especially:

Stockport Community Cyclists
Warrington Ramblers & the Ramblers Association
Warrington Rowing Club

Fiddlers Ferry Sailing Club
Liverpool Sailing Club
Environment Agency
United Utilities
Clare Foot
Bev Mitchell
Fred Talbot
& the Mayors of Stockport and Liverpool

Not forgetting, of course, the readers of my relay blog. Hope to see you all back here for next year's relay.

If you've enjoyed following my adventures, keep checking back to this site. You never know where Sammy will get to next............

THANK YOU! Sammy and some of the people who helped him along his relay route...
