Shoreline Walk

With all this lovely weather and the fact that we can now get out and about as often as we would like, the wife and I decided to start varying our walking routes.
We have walked these before but not for a number of weeks. So today it was a very short drive up to the football and recreation ground which borders the estuary. Unfortunately the tide was out but it didn't stop people trying out their paddle boards and canoes/kayaks as well as a number of other walkers. Good thing about it was that it's a huge open space so social distancing is not a problem, Plus, people around here have got quite used to it and step aside for you to pass or simply wait until you have gone by.


 

We started off by a local boatyard which is where some youngsters were practising their paddle board skills. Not with a huge amount of success I must admit, however they were doing better than I would have. As I say, the tide was out so lots of smelly seaweed on view.











Then it was turn right and meander up the shoreline, The Spinnaker tower was well outlined across the water and looked pretty good.

Further up there were a number of boats/yachts tied up, maybe their owners were awaiting the tide to turn. It was a beautiful day and a lovely walk. Only about an hour but it gets us out for some exercise.
