Got out for an #InTheSaddle ride round the city earlier. A couple of interesting visitors to the Pier Head (RFA Tidespring has been in and out of Cammel Laird's of late, having some work done)

The view down the dockers steps, from the bottom of the Bread Streets. A long cobbled alleyway and steps lead away from the camera. One side of the alley is lined with a brick wall, and the other with iron railings.

In the distance, under the setting sun, you can just glimpse the the ribbon of the River Mersey

Two ships moored up on the river Mersey. One is RFA Tidespring, a grey naval support ship; and the other is Atlantis Dweller, a red and white offshore support vessel with a prominent helipad above the foredeck.

Got out for an #InTheSaddle ride before the match.

I'd forgotten there was a big boat visiting.

HMS Prince of Wales aircraft carrier moored in the River Mersey at the cruise terminal

A closer shot of the aircraft (allegedly, I didn't see any aircraft anywhere) carrier. Its plane lifts are lowered.

Moored alongside are four little red and blue pilot vessels (as that's where they hang out waiting to take pilots out to ships coming in).

Bulk carrier Star Mistral unloading another load of sunshine in Canada Dock last night.

A cargo ship with four cranes moored in a dock, alongside a dockside crane.

The setting sun can just be seen peeking above the ship, roughly where one of the cargo holds is.

Jumped on the ferry over to Seacombe last night, to ride round to West Kirby for the start of our #FolkRidingBikes group ride.

Had forgotten that Queen Mary 2 was visiting, until I got down to the Pier Head.

Cunard's Queen Mary 2 cruise ship is moored at the Pier Head in Liverpool. The "Three Graces": the Liver Building, Cunard Building and Port of Liverpool Building can just be seen to the right of frame behind the ship.

The photo is taken from the middle of the river Mersey, from on-board one of the Mersey ferries. My orange Ribble gravel bike is resting against the side of the ferry.

Got out for a decent length #InTheSaddle tonight, and it was high tide when I was on Otterspool prom. Always a good time to head out from Garston docks, if you're a tanker.

Took the long way to the supermarket to get in a 12 mile ride.

Spotted survey ship Horizon Geodiscovery at the Pier Head, as well as Pilot Vessel Petrel.

A technical ship with a blue hull and white superstructure, moored on the river at high tide.

The bridge is at the bow of the ship, and behind it most of the deck is flat, save for a latticework steel tower looking a bit like a crane.

Moored alongside that ship is one of the pilot vessels (also with a blue hull, but a red cabin), facing in the opposite direction.

Tanker Aral in Canada Dock this evening

A dockside view, with a grey warehouse next to the dock and a rear three-quarter view of a tanker with a red hull and white superstructure moored alongside

Slightly damp but fun 22 mile circuit round South Liverpool.

Took in Camp Hill and bumped (not literally) into Queen Victoria moored at the Pier Head.

A green gravel bike with a petrol blue pannier leans against a bin at the edge of a grassy hill.

In the distance, the river Mersey is just visible on the horizon, and beyond that the Welsh hills

The same bike leans against some railings on the edge of the river Mersey.

Moored just behind is Cunard's liner, the Queen Victoria

Lovely 40 mile #InTheSaddle ride up to Ainsdale and back.

Managed not to get run over by a cruise ship, despite appearances in the photo.

A view of the river Mersey, with a landing stage in the foreground with a few small boats moored alongside. In the middle of the river is a large white and navy blue cruise ship, which looks like it's heading straight at the camera

Is that French warship chasing the Mersey ferry?

A view across the river Mersey. A grey, angular warship flying a French flag is moored in the foreground. Beyond that, the dazzle-liveried Mersey ferry crosses the river, and the Irish ferry is coming in to dock

Happy New Year! Got out for a short #InTheSaddle ride, and saw HMS Daring moored at the Pier Head after some work at Cammel Laird's.

A grey naval destroyer moored on a calm river. The sun is just peeking out from behind a cloud overhead
