With some of the group away those left weren't giving up on finding some hiking opportunities. So off in the morning for some beach-combing with a purpose ... warm weather, no breezes, so of course we headed to Nude Beach ... we actually were looking for the materials for some driftwood wreaths. Lovely walk and by the time we left there were 3 other sets of folks also enjoying the beach ... could easily have been nude but none were!
After this successful adventure we headed back to town to pick up another hiker who we were taking over to Sandspit to catch their plane. So after sending JP off we had extra time before the next ferry so we headed off to the "old Aliford Bay dock" where we had been told there was a new hike out around the point. Thanks to SG for telling us and working on this delightful trail.
What we found there was an amazing memorial plaque to the crew lost during the war on the Stranaer 965 which crashed in the Inlet. The stainless steel plaque tells the story!
The hike was lovely, through a fern forest with wonderful views on a glorious day ... indeed we ran out of time so did not complete it as we needed to be back in the ferry line-up.
