Subject to Traffic
Liverpool ATC are very helpful when they can be, unless it is very quiet, not likely at weekends, you are unlikely to get overhead the field.
They will often offer Seaforth - Neston or if you ask Kirkby - LPL - the south of M56 towards Hawarden.
Or you could just use the LLR to M56 and ask for Zone Clearance to Hawarden from there.
The most import ant thinkg is to make your request in good time and in the proper way - if you sound as if you know what you are doing you are more likely to get the clearance you want.
On the trip North I would plan on getting Neston - Seaforth.
Enjoy!
