A WET and windy summer day did nothing to deter keen sand sculptors who had a great time digging in the sand on a Furness beach.
The Mail, on Friday, August 14 in 1992, noted: “Young nature lovers spent a windy afternoon at Sandscale Haws creating shapes in the sand.
“More than 70 people got together for a sand sculpture day organised by National Trust warden Peter Carty and his team of assistant wardens and Furness Watch, the young people’s nature group ld by Val Holden.”
Mrs Holden said: “We had about 12 groups, mainly families, making the sculptures.
“It was windy and there was a bit of rain but the kids really enjoyed it.
“They made some great sculptures, including a mermaid, an owl catching a rat, an octopus and a natterjack toad.”
Summer holiday events had been held at Sandscale Haws each Wednesday, including pond dipping and a barbeque.
