Lihou causeway

Lihou causeway
Lihou Island lies off Guernsey's west coast. It is connected to L'Erée headland (seen here with Fort Saumarez) via a causeway accessible at (very) low tide. It is essential to observe the causeway opening times to avoid getting stranded on Lihou, because once the water gets ankle high it is too dangerous to cross.

Life in the tide zone: orange- breadcrumb sponge (halichondria panicea) / dark red jelly blobs- beadlet anemone (actinia equina). 20060910-IMG 0003
The mauve stuff is an encrusting seaweed of the lithophyllum or lithothamnium species.

Herzlichen Dank, Ulrich! Weiter vorne verliert sich der Weg komplett-an der Stelle mit der stärksten Strömung, da ist es immer nass;-)

Besten Dank, Berny! Lohnt sich- 15m Tidenhub, interessante Küste, jede Menge Beton vom Atlantikwall....

Gudrun club has replied to J. Gafarot club
Thank you, Jose! It is built that it isn't immediately washed away but they still need to do a lot of repairs;-)

Was für irre Farben diese Schwämme haben, klasse auch der Weg zum Leuchtturm Gudrun !
9 years ago.
Gudrun club has replied to menonfire club
Schönen Dank, Maik! Die haben geleuchtet, aber sie sehen ziemlich unappetitlich aus;-)
Der Leuchtturm ist übrigens ein napoleanischer Wachturm, auf den die Deutschen im Krieg draufgebaut haben (die Kanalinseln waren Teil des Atlantikwalls)

Vielen Dank, Lothar! Das orangerote ist ein Schwamm, das fliederfarbene eine Alge:-) Ich hatte mir vor Ort ein kleines Büchlein dazu gekauft;-)

Like the hike to Dungeness Spit lighthouse off the Strait of Juan de Fuca--better check the tide tables first! ;)

Gudrun club has replied to slgwv club
Absolutely, with spring tides up to 15m high this is a must;-) Sometimes the causeway is closed for days on end...
