Popcorn & I had a walk along the Fitties before Christmas. It was a very drab, windy sort of day and quite cold, I took a few photo's on my mobile phone. Not many people out and quite a contrast to the hot, sunny days of summer when our visitors enjoyed the beach and sea last summer.

| Early afternoon with a hint of sun creeping below the clouds in the distance. |
 |
| It was low tide, my favourite time as the contours of the beach can be seen where the water has swirled around carving out the channels and building sandbanks. |
 |
| In the distance is "Northcotes Point". |
 |
| The water in the foreground fills quickly when the tide turns and soon surrounds this large sandbank. People out on the sandbank and beyond can be cut off from the shoreline. The water in the creek can be above head height with a strong current running through it, making it impossible to get back to shore. The inshore RNLI lifeboat has to rescue them. |
 |
| Here you can see the creek, it changes it's shape and position with each tide. |
