A visit to Crosby Beach to see Another Place sculptures by Antony Gormley. Sorry, Sir Antony Gormley. We parked at the northern end of the promenade and walked along the beach among them to the southern end, and then back.
Then we drove to the car park at Lifeboat Road Formby, stopping to get some m&s sandwiches for lunch from a petrol station on the way. We walked up to the picnic area, visited the squirrels (saw one up in the tree tops that wasn't amenable to having its photo taken) and then headed out onto the sands. A brief shower resulted in some new camera faffing, but it was soon over.
We returned back along the beach to the car park, the last bit over the sand dunes was the most strenuous part of the day.
