Morning Winter Sun at Yellowcraig beach...



Another day of winter sun on the east coast...
And M`s first ride on a Fatbike on the coast, Jake the dog had fun too running along side and finding sticks to carry....



Broadsands is an amazing stretch of sand, over a mile in length at low tide you get that same feeling of space you can experience on the Northumberland coastline, famous for it`s huge lengths of sands...
While our coastline does  not have the same dramatic castles dominating the skyline we do have a very famous lighthouse...


Made famous from a more famous author; Robert Louis Stevenson who frequented the coast here and would write his novel Treasure Island from here, the small hill at Yellowcraig being `Spyglass Hill`...

The island draws you as you follow the tide line..


Today the beach was busy with dog walkers but wide enough to get your own space,
M was enjoying the ride...
Big grins...



And here on the lowest tides of the year the bow and stern are visible of a former WW1 US Battleship that was towed to anchor here to be used by WW2 Coastal Command airmen being trained at RAF East Fortune...
You can ready about it here on a former blog post;  HMS Ludlow Wreck


Fat bikes leave a lot less of a footprint than walkers, reversing the trend...


M was loving the Fatbike!....


And Jake the run!



Some film i shot, captures the light on the wet sand,
Song is `Lend Me Your Love` by Slackstring...
