Liz and I were deposited in Peel to shop for kippers to post home, as some judicious car shuffling was going on today. Geoff and Brian duly joined us for coffee on Peel promenade and today's walk commenced at around 10-30am.
The rock has changed here from slate to red sandstone and the cliffs look very different 
- but today according to the guide book we are mainly following a disused railway track slightly inland.
2 examples of strange things spotted at the side of the track :
The track finishes short of Kirk Michael and the path goes down onto the beach for a short section - quite heavy going over the pebbles, but easier further along as the tide was out and the sand was firmer there. A seal bobbed alongside us for most of the way.
Just before Kirkmichael we regained the old railway track, followed it through the village then dropped back onto the coast further along
Although flat, the beach stretches are some of the most tiring to walk - tomorrow's long beach section is starting to worry us as the tide will be in, driving us up onto the shingle areas.
This probably won't be the only wreck on the beach tomorrow
