High tide, Golant
Craig Munday

Hi Keith, As the Indian Summer continues:-   The morning clay got held at Lostwithiel due to a lever frame problem which was attended by the S&T department. This caused 6G06 to run 33 late. This shot was captured at Golant in stunning light with a full tide which was lapping over the road along the water front. 
         Cheers for now,   Craig                   Many thanks Craig
