Cumbria day 2 - Walney Island and Roanhead
Walney Island is separated, just, from the Furness peninsula at the tip of Barrow. It was a stomping ground for Alan when he was a kid and so brings back fond memories of sand and ice cream, although it lies between the mouth of the River Duddon and Morecambe Bay and there are dangerous currents in the channels. We had lunch on the Barrow side as it was very windy and so more sheltered here, but then we stopped at various places, finally crossing back to Barrow and visiting Roanhead, which has a fine view over to the hills of the south lakes. On the beach in Walney there were strange clusters of crab skeletons which had been bundled together by the tide. The first 6 pictures are from Walney and the rest from Roanhead. They are a mixture of straight and ICM images.
