I took a break on lonely Knockbrex beach which is guarded by its folly.
The sun and southerly wind were surprisingly warm so...
...,despite being early October, I went for a (quick) swim. The crowds of summer are long gone and I enjoyed the peace of this beautiful place on my own.
Then it was time to catch the wind for a brisk paddle back...
...to the delightful beach of Smuggler's Cove where I launch.
Yet another ace Solway day.
