Golden October around Silverdale


The start of the walk from Eaves Wood carpark - north of Silverdale


A row of attractive cottages at Elmslack

Leaving Elmslack

Alpacas grazing in the warm, October sunshine.

Our first view of  Morecambe Bay at The Cove

The Kent estuary at The Cove

Strange formations left by the receding tide 

Lindeth Tower - presumably, part of a property 

Jack Scout limekiln


Morecambe Bay in all its glory

Approaching the Giant's Seat on Jack Scout

The view from the Giant's Seat (including Harry's Head!)

Calm over the bay

Lunch at Giant's Seat


A new activity for Meanderthals - geo-caching -
hi-tech treasure hunting.

Harry was the first to find the cache under a holly bush behind the seat.

A record of our visit in the cache's logbook

Continuing round the coast to Jenny Brown's Point

Another view of Jenny Brown's Point

Looking inland towards Leighton Moss nature reserve


This chimney is the only remains of a copper smelting mill operational 200 years ago.


"Try and keep up, please!"

Open fields near Bottoms Farm

Another sign of autumn
