A very nice walk around the Silverdale coast line. Try to bring some binoculars because they're a lot of waders out on the mudflats, unfortunately I forgot mine. The path was already very slippery and boggy in parts and I don't suppose it will get any better as we move into winter, so grippy footwear is a must.
