East & West Mersea

We took a run out to East & West Mersea. With clear blue skies & a reasonable temperature it feels like the first day of spring but that is still over a month away.

West Mersea

We paid a visit to Mersea Island on Wednesday the 26th. It was a very bright and warm early autumn day. A very pleasant walk, there were very few people about, I love this time of the year. Mersea has a causeway, The Strood, which floods on the high tide so you have to be aware of the tide times. Today we arrived just before the high tide, so once you are on the Island you are there for at least the next hour.

West Mersea

After my visit to East Mersea earlier today I revisited this more popular part of the Island looking for a decent sunset but yet again I had to make do with just a modest end of the day. I will just have to keep trying but that’s no hardship I just love this part of the world in the winter. Once again the high tide is not the best time to visit, it removes all the character from the shore.

I met a drone pilot and we enjoyed the setting sun following a respective hobbies. Here is his drone coming into land as the battery had run down.
