These pictures are still from Little Eye looking towards Hilbre Island. The islands are at the point where the River Dee flows into Liverpool Bay. To the left is the North Wales coast and then there is the Irish Sea.
In most places across to the islands the sand is firm and quite safe but in places there are patches of quick sand so great care is needed. As the tide was just going out the sand and the silt beneath it was still waterlogged. As I made my way towards the main island I stayed close to the rocks expecting this to be the firmer ground but at one point I sank into the mud almost to my knees which was a bit of a shock.
