The hill is covered in a mix of heather, gorse, and grass, creating a picturesque setting that changes with the seasons.

Pleasant path Just about the most perfect surface for a footpath. Clean, well-defined, flat, firm but not too soft nor too hard, no mud, no puddles, no dog poop, no litter!

Western Brancaster Harbour, Brancaster Bay Taken from the south of the outflow channel at a very low tide. Ship wreck SS Vina and Scolt Head Island can be seen in the distance. When you walk there, they are a lot further away than you imagined. Also, the beach undulates a lot and for this reason you need to be careful, as it is easy to caught out by the tide.

The camera location was fixed using a Nikon GP-1 GPS unit attached to the camera. This is embedded in the EXIF data.
