Very heavy rain overnight and it was still very very windy - gusting over 60mph at this time as I walked the dogs up the hill
A little sunshine
Hopper dredger Shoalway at anchor in the bay - making for Waterford once the conditions improve
Some big splashes out there
After I got home I spotted the Penlee Lifeboat Ivan Ellen out on her usual Sunday morning training run
After she turned into the wind and catching PZ191 WSS (William Sampson Stevenson)
Really was very wild out there
Love this one - if only it had been closer - or I had a better camera
Shower passing to the South
We decided to walk East as the footpath is fenced and further from the cliff edge as the wind was still gusting at over 70mph at times
Looking through the tamarisk
Some big waves at Trebarvah Cove
Shoalway still at anchor
Still lots of dramatic clouds
The footpath was in a bad way as it doesn't drain - fortunately you can walk along the field instead
The dogs love this walk we should do it more often
The wind was causing Tilly some embarrassment
Spotted the first Violet of the year !
Once we turned around walking was really difficult as we were straight into the wind
Still at least Tilly's modesty had returned and Wooster was feeling very perky
All the cloud was to the South and looking North there was blue sky
Tricky spot for a puddle as I wasn't wearing my waterproof boots - managed to step across
Love that walk. Remember the violets and other small flowers along the track, the Tamarisk and fallen rocks, and the gate. The gorse was in full bloom then. The views back towards the Mount were beautiful and still are! It was late afternoon/early evening, around the end of April, four years ago.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful memories, Sue!
The only reason we don't do this walk more often is that it's such a roundabout route to get there in the Winter due to deep mud due to the cattle. Pity as we and the dogs love it. Hopefully there will be more Violets soon - although the forecast isn't good at all. Sue
DeleteGlad to see Wooster has given up his job as a wind turbine !Looks as though Scilly had windy weather too.Thank Sue enjoyed all the photo's.macca.
ReplyDeleteJust posted a short video of him in the wind yesterday - Pointers are well known for going a bit bonkers in a wind like that - due to their sensitive noses ! Sue
