Bardsea Beach - Cumbria

Ulverston sands

These reed beds went just far enough out into the estuary to enable me to get into this square safely and only a GPS reading could tell my location with any certainty. In another 5 or 6 metres they give way to large areas of unpredictable mud flats which are not a sensible place to go! The estuary is shown about 3 hours after high tide.
