For a complete change, we've been touristing. it's a long story as to why, which I might share someday, but anyway - we found ourselves in Barrow in Furness. First we went to the Dock Museum which had been recommended by our mate Nick. If you are ever in Barrow in Furness, then this place is a must. Free entry and it is amazing!

| Life size replicas of shipw built by Vickers Armstrong |
 |
| The history of the Nuclear Submarines and much much more |
After a good look round and lunch with a view, we headed across the bridge to Walney Island. Home to two Nature reserves, we were visiting the southern one, run by Cumbria Wildlife Trust
 |
| We saw hundreds of Eider Ducks (Male on the left, female on the right) |
 |
| Oyster catchers were also in huge numbers |
 |
| But the highlight of the day for me was an hour and a half watching seals. |
 |
| Thanks to the CWT ranger who came into the hide we were in to count Eider Ducks (some task), for pointing out these Sandwich Terns. They had been bombing us on our walk to the hide so presumably had nests nearby. |
