Fishing Near Seascale

On Friday our friend Benny had put his fishing nets out on the beach & we joined him at low water on Saturday. It was a gorgeous day, very still & lovely & sunny. Looking north with St Bees Head in the distance The beach is mostly sandy but there are a few areas with small rock pools Funny tasting water says Crag, Bess came with us but has been scared by the firing at Drigg before & as soon as she got on the beach she decided enough was enough & ran back to the car. We know they don't do it on a Saturday, but she was adamant she wasn't coming with us. We had a reasonable walk to get over to Benny his tractor is the dot in the distance in the centre of the picture.

From the low water mark you get a good view of the Wasdale fells

Andy picking up the ball for Crag, he didn't stop chasing it for the 2hours we were out.

Looking back at Seascale with Sellafield just showing on the left.

The sun was setting as we walked back.

Its a huge beach and the tide goes out someway.

Back at the car and some people walking on the beach.
