GODREVY & GWITHIAN TOWANS

===========================================

Hi everyone, sorry for the lack of posts over the last week or so, but we have been away for a break to the Isle of Wight.
We had a very nice time although it rained at some point every day,and we got a few soakings but we made the best of it.
So I am sitting here now with a head full of cold, at least I brought something back with me as a reminder of the holiday.
The post today is a short one, and was taken at Godrevy and Gwithian Towans before I went away. This area forms St Ives Bay and is a very popular destination for locals and tourists alike. It also encompasses St Gothian Sands NR and the Hayle Estuary which are  superb migration and over wintering bird sites
Ok that's about it for this one, I will try to get a few more bits on over the coming days, but I have some chores to catch up on and loads of images to sort through, and not much inclination to do it at the moment.

Godrevy and Gwithian form 3 miles of golden sands and is backed up by a large expanse of sand dunes. The opposite side of the bay you can see Carbis Bay and the Town of St Ives.
