High Tide and Green Grass (with apologies to the Stones!)

Friends on facebook will have seen plenty of our photos of Jenny Brown's Point; it being one of our favourite walks.

On September 5th we did the walk when the tide was so low we could get all the way round the headland on the beach.

On Sunday we did the same walk and it was a different picture..

We went to repeat the walk today to see what it was like at high tide. Fortunately today's high tide was 13:14 at a height of 9.95m

We were amazed. The only way we got round the headland was by scrambling over the rocks and a fence or two!

 

As we made our way back, an hour and a half later, the water level had dropped by about a metre making it possible to walk without scrambling over the rocks.

The matting put down to protect the salt marsh from further erosion had been torn back by the tide

and the erosion of the saltmarsh had continued apace..

The only sign left of the high tide was debris on the fence and a line of flotsam and jetsom deposited on the embankment and the grass looked so green it was almost unreal..

A fantastic walk at any time but with the addition of the wind and tide, today was spectacular!
