Cockersands

We Just managed to squeeze onto the small layby that was our meeting point. The weather forecast was not good, the sky was looking quite murky and there were a few spots of rain in the air, so we donned our wetwear before setting off along the coastal path. 

No sooner had we left the road than the threat of rain abated, and that was the theme for the rest of the day, a few spots of rain then it passes over.  

There were many sea birds congregating in the river channels, but too far away to make out what they were.

Martin met us for lunch and told us that not everyone had been so lucky with the weather, as he had, from the sheltered confines of his
car, been subjected to about 15 minutes of heavy rain.

Some of the paths on this walk, and also some of the stiles were in need of some t.l.c.
 

The highest point of our walk had within a contained area, a small lake surrounded by thousands of sunflowers.

As we approached the lake, we disturbed a large flock of ducks, who all took to the air in alarm, before landing again at the other end of the lake.

Leaving the lake, it was downhill for most of the way back to the cars, and to meet up again with Matin, who told us there had been another heavy shower.
