Out to Birnbeck Pier again. 5

Going OK still.  Took Lincoln out for a little extended ride, for him anyway, and went along the promenade to Birnbeck Pier.

Lincoln

I suppose when I was seven I would be the same.  Part of the path around the victorian Marine Lake gets flooded after high tide and having gone through it once, the grandson needed to go back through it again. A bit childish by my way of thinking.

The Causeway

The causeway turns this little cove into a safe place for toddlers to swim and paddle.  Built by the Victorians when Weston became a popular holiday destination, it ensures 'the sea is always in'.

Birnbeck Pier

Another Victorian building, the pier was very popular in its heyday with fairs etc, it has now been derelict for  24 years.  A shame it has gone to wrack and ruin.

Time for a cuppa

At least there is a little cafe on the land side of the pier.  Manned by volunteers trying to raise money to save it, it was an opportunity for Lincoln and me to have some refreshments before riding home.

A fraction under 5 miles today, a personal best for the grandson.
