The South Bull Wall

Having already done my customary 4 mile run in the morning,  Ali had an appointment at St Vincents and whilst waiting for her I explored the South Bull Wall, at 4km it is one of the longest in Europe according to Wikipedia. I then found out Ali would be even longer than anticipated so I extended my run to include the Grand Canal basin.  It may look as if I was running on water - in fact the tide was out and the bay is almost level so the sea proper is way, way in the distance.

Stunning - I don't know who they are though
