Dutch Gap Conservation Area


We love an industrial feature and this is a mammoth coal-fired station beside a conservation area with peaceful cycle paths and floating decks and little beaches and bird hides and even an historic village (shut for the season). Led by the Italians we embarked on a 4 mile epic adventure, with J kitting herself up to fish for baby belugas (!) and the others constructing fairy dens, amidst the mangrove-style water's edge.

The low grey sky gave way to sun and balmy 20 degree temperatures... all now a distant memory of course.
