| A visit to Arnside last Thursday coincided with an exceptionally high tide in the River Kent estuary. A traditional view of the railway viaduct. |
 |
| The tide races in here twice a day and is reminiscent of the famous River Severn bore. A close look at the water under the railway viaduct. Although there are plenty of warning signs and a siren sound when the tide approaches, there have been instances where people have had to be rescued. (Pic - Mooncat755) |

| The former Barclays Bank building. |
 |
| A train over the viaduct heading for Grange over Sands, Ulverston and Barrow in Furness. |
 |
| At the end of the short Arnside Pier looking towards the shops. |
 |
| Possibly a little too cold to enjoy an ice cream. |
 |
| A covered footpath from the shops. |
 |
| It was closed! |
 |
| Jack and the Beanstalk. |
 |
| The tide was rolling in ....... |
 |
| .... and partly covering the slipway. |
 |
| Another slipway further along. (Part 2 of the visit to Arnside will appear tomorrow). |
