There's a lot to be said for a spot of fishing and a spot of fitness-inspired fun - for all.
For kids and teenagers and adults - families and colleagues at the coal face of employment.
And there is a lot to be said for people who set out to create the avenues people can go down to experience such things.
While the autumn is definitely in the air there is still a summery feel to proceedings - the proceedings of angling and swimming, and rowing and running and cycling.
With the weather still playing silly beggars (silly damp and sometimes windy beggars) the pursuit of a family day out on the sea or by the sea, and in this case also in the sea, does create a sort of Indian summer feel to things.
