07 In the picture above I was getting near to the causeway but you can see there was still water between me and a direct route to the island. You can also see how gentle the water was.
In the second picture we are on the causeway looking forward to getting onto the island. The causeway is covered in mussels.
In the third picture we are looking north east across to Barcloy Hill in the foreground with Castle Point (not really visible in the mucky weather) in front of it. The hill shrouded in mist in the distance is White Hill near Portling.
