Mmmm, some of it tends to go rotten quicker, but good stuff, thicker, is good.  Tends to be pink/purple (ish).

Welsh tends to be cheapest, good Burlington then Coniston green, if you can get it and can afford it!!!

I have prepared some images to post, going back to 2016 I took a lot from another viewpoint, Rebecca Hill, which were mainly Sunsets.  I have looked at them today and I think I am getting a better image of the sand-bar from that location, it's much closer, about 8.5 Km, rather than 11Km to the Bank House Moor mines.  Rebecca Hill is only 190M, compared with Bank house mines which are 250M. I still intend to do a time-lapse video from Bank House Mines.

I haven't been on top form last few days, I will try to post the pictures tomorrow, I really can't raise the energy this evening.

Finally, images!  Sorry for the delay but everything seems to be a big effort right now.

This is the little village of Soutergate, bathed in sunshine, directly below my vantage point on the old slate mine waste heap.



This is a photo I took in 2015 from another location, part of a panorama series of a sunset, Nikon D200.  This is where we are headed tomorrow morning about 6 am to catch the tide coming in at Sunrise.



This was taken on Wednesday from above Soutergate, Nikon D800 and Nikkor 24-105 f/4.0 VR 11 Km from the Duddon Bar.



This is a wider version of the same panorama.



Finally a view up into the Lakes the rain is falling in the over Seatwaite as it often does. A classic example of almost four seasons in one scene.

The wider pano has sand dunes behind the wind turbines - I have slid a Clydesdale down those dunes :lol:

On the beach - apologies for quality - not my photo as I am sitting on the right hand horse!

Sounds like Haverigg beach, maybe towards Silecroft?  Loads of dunes along there.  There was an item in the National Geographic in the 1960's about lightning and they featured a sand dune at Haverrig which had been struck by lightning and showed photographs of the glass 'tube' formed by the intense heat of the strike,  I  seem to remember it was about 30 feet long(deep into the sand) which had been excavated.

I think I can just about make out the Isle of Man, ultra faintly in the mist.

Not sure, will have a look at the map when we get back from Moor Farm.  Off out now to make time-lapse.

We started on the beach car park at Silecroft and rode south - not quite reaching the point.



These are the dunes:

I have made a more moderate edit of the original in its place.
