The Graveyard
Fleetwood, River Wyre, Lancashire
My first proper outing since Skye in February with Muddy Boots UK to a couple of locations I’ve never been to. The evening didn’t start too well with a late packing of my gear. Usually, everything is in its place but I couldn't find my cable-release. I wrecked the house trying to find it only to leave the mess to Mrs R to clear up!
I didn’t fair better with the navigation either... looked up the wrong area! Luckily, Muddy knew where we were heading. Anyway, enough of my calamities. we got there.
These wrecks are very accessible with a well-trodden path right up to them but the surrounding mud is very slippy and attempts to pull your wellies off with every step... so be warned!
Conditions were too bright at the time of our visit hence the mono conversion, but this would make a great location for sunrise or with a stormy backdrop. The boats in the graveyard are mostly all Fleetwood Trawlers left over from the Cod Wars of the 1970’s when the ships owners were paid to scrap them by the government.
