S minus one

The day before the real day. We had a good drive up the M6 and then endured the 80odd minutes drive from J36 to St Bee's. The temperature was 25-26dC, very little wind and hardly a cloud in the sky.
We parked one car at Sandwith and then started our walk from St. Bee's. 'Did' the usual photos, got our feet wet in the sea, picked our stones and set off up the hill.

It was a pleasant five mile walk, a bit on the warm side but the views out to sea were excellent with both blue sky and sea. The gulls were nesting on the rocks, the guillemots were feeding on the sea, a hobby, kestrel and two ravens passed us by. On the landward side we had highland cattle and sheep.

Now sat in our wonderful 4* B&B at Ghyll Farm, showering, getting changed and then going out for a meal in the Community pub, Fox & Hounds, in Ennerdale Bridge.
The weather's looking good for tomorrow.
Strange what you see on a walk!
