Popcorn & I had a walk along the Fitties in the early morning sun, back in September. On this occasion we walked in the opposite direction to our usual walk along Marine Embankment.
I'm beginning to run out of recent photo's but have taken a lot this summer so will have to dip into my archives of earlier 2024 pics soon for future posts.
This is the Buck Beck outfall which runs through Cleethorpes from the Lincolnshire Wolds and into the Humber Estuary at the Fitties. |
A few small saltwater lagoons in the dunes. |
Looking toward Cleethorpes, the Yorkshire coast can be seen on the far bank of the estuary. |
A Little Egret looking for small crabs and shrimps in a saltwater lagoon. The lagoons dry out in drought conditions but are then topped up again on the next extra high tide. |
These static holiday caravans have views out over the estuary. |
Driftwood washes up on the beach regularly. |
Dogs aren't allowed on the main beaches at Cleethorpes but they are on the Fitties. It's just hoped their owners clear up after them. |
In the distance are moored yachts on the beach where we usually walk. |
Haile Sand Fort, seen framed by a breakwater. |
I very rarely take photographs where there's any children about, this little one is facing away so not a problem. I think mum on the left was keeping an eye on me but didn't object. |
This is where we usually begin our walk. |
Cleethorpes is "just" visible in the distance. |
This creek changes it's shape but will be familiar to you if you've seen my other posts from the Fitties. |
A view of the caravans at Thorpe Park to show how close they are to the beach here. In the distance the small white building is Cleethorpes Pier. Nikon Z6.2 with 24 - 70mm lens. |
