Plodging in the clarts

We went to Saltburn Pier yesterday with the intention of doing some fishing or crabbing. Unfortunately, the tide was out!

However, walking below the pier in search of a good shot, I didn't notice an extra large wave sweep in and swamp my shoes. Having Crocs on, the water went in the sides and top holes so I immediately had very soggy socks.

We did find some small crabs in the water pools beneath the pier. We made sure we put them back though.
