Edge of the sands at Culbin
The GPS location for the image, but not where expected on the OS mapping. The bay opens out in front of the position.

Culbin Sands
Between the forest and The Bar. I was aiming for the prominent dune on the horizon. There were a few vehicle tracks out here.

View over the Saltmarsh
Interestingly, the maps show much less saltmarsh and much more sand than there now seems to be.

Looking back along the sands. Mine were not the only tracks here, some four wheeled traffic had passed in the past.
