We spent a beautiful sunny day on the beach - sorting out a fence. It was originally installed to keep people off a dune, with the aim of reducing erosion and eventually allowing nature (in the form of Marram grass) to stabilise the sand. The dune has also been planted with dead Christmas trees to help trap and retain sand.
The sea had its own ideas - undermining the fence and the burying part of it in the beach.
First we recovered the materials (posts / rails and chestnut paling fence) out of the sand and then we re-erected the fence in a new position on the beach. Where it will hopefully stand - protecting the face of the dune from some of the force of the sea and from scores of visiting feet.
Three of us took the opportunity to have a swim before we returned to Manchester.
