Rounding The Ayres
The Ben My Chree ferry rounds the northernmost point of the Isle of Man during the annual round the island excursion during late June. Strong currents flow around this stretch of coast constantly shifting the steep shingle beach.
As a child I was taught at school that a few centimetres is added to the coastline each year at this point. That was nearly fifty years ago and the Island doesn't seem to have grown much in that time.
