Then we headed along the road as I wanted to try and get to the beach the other side of the estuary. We walked and walked. Each time I found a path that looked like it led to the beach it was marked private, no right of way. So after about a mile or so we gave up and turned back. It rained the entire time we were out but I was nice and dry in my waterproofs. Poor Dex was looking a bit bedraggled! He cheered up when we got back to the beach and he was off the lead again!
