Today Dave and I started our day at Smeale hoping to get some pictures of the waders. We managed a few shots of Sanderling and Turnstone but, they were very flighty

We next had a wander through Ballaglass though part of the path (and lower bridge) is closed due to fallen trees

We next went to Laxey where, following lunch, we walked over the far headland and onto the stone pier

Out with Bill today. We set off without any clear plan and found ourselves at Glen Helen. We set off down the glen but, were unable to walk as far as the waterfall as the path was closed

Next, we found a tunnel that lead to a quarry that Bill had heard about

We called into a ruin by Tynwald to see if we could get some pictures then had lunch in the gardens nearby

Our next stop was Greeba Mountain. Dave has been trying to get me to walk up here for some time. The views from the top were pretty good - even better because we drove up

Our final destination was the Salmon Centre in Laxey. It is currently hosting a photography exhibition which includes some pictures taken by Bill.

We then drove up to Douglas Head where we had lunch then a walk around the headland and look at the big Poppy
