Runswick Bay – dog walk beach and valley exit

As we set off across this sea-weed strewn beach, our exit is just up a sharp steep valley to the right of the nearest people. It seems a favourite place for dog walkers but for us the many sand-flies here caused by this weed is a bit of a put-off. The PiP's shows the climb out of the beach, through the small stream, over a bridge then a big flight of steps to the headland. On viewing the vertical plank photo you can also see some of the many flies hovering in the sky. Fortunately we left them all behind here.

Nice full size.
