I wonder if I could get planning permission to put another stack of sticks behind it for a kitchen. :lol:

But you haven't told us where it is!!! Or are you keeping it secret - I wouldn't blame you because I discovered a gem of a place where a mile long sandy beach (in June) had all of about 6 people on it - in Greece!

No I'm not disclosing its whereabouts :mrgreen: we want to keep it quiet :mrgreen:

Yes, we have lots with sand - google 'Sandwood Bay' thats my favourite place in the entire world. Excellent surfing, climbing and general beachbumming in the remote NW of Scotland. The Islands in general are pretty sandy too. My favourite (I've done 75 of them) is Oldany (near Lochinver) we stayed on it in a private bothy one summer - crystal clear waters with sparkling white sand looking across to Quinag, Suilven and Stac Pollaidh.
