For this part of the walk an inland diversion was required due to coastal erosion and landslips.

Leaving Redcliffe Point. There was a crack starting just behind this mud slope so I expect another slip will occur soon!

The large headland is Whitnothe and Frenchman’s Ledge is the lower closer headland.

This is about it for today. Progress was slow due to wet soggy mud on the paths. Black Head Ledges are visible in the shallow water.
