We decided at the last minute to try a spot of beachcasting off the strand at Lacken yesterday but I only managed 3 casts before my vertigo kicked in and I had to call it a day. Here are some photos anyway.

The firm sand stretches away to the west here the small river comes in

It was disappointing to have to quit as there was a nice surf running

When it rapidly became clear that I could not fish we packed up and drove over to Rathlacken pier where we found two anglers who were packing up after catching ‘a few’.

The pier is worth a visit just for the local history displays.

That is Nephin in the distance

So more rest and recuperation for me before I venture out again.
