Today Dave and I parked at Glen Mooar and walked along the coast path towards Peel. Much of the pat is away from the sea or on the old railway line with high banks and we saw more horseflies on this stretch than anything else.

After some time, we came to a bridge with steps leading up from the path. We took these and headed down to the beach.

On the way down the path to the beach, we saw an orchid - possibly a Common Spotted

Our thought today had been to do some long exposure seascapes however, we left both tripods and ND filters in the car. Using the polarising filter and the other filters we had with us, I improvised using a rock

After some lunch, we headed back towards the car along the road to see if there was anything more of interest to see.

We headed back to the Lifeboat day in Ramsey (via The Mitre for a quick drink)

Later in the evening, Chris and I noticed that there was a track being set up on the beach so, we headed out to watch some sand racing
