May's Beach Wednesday 21st November 2018

May's Beach Wednesday 21st November 2018

It rained quite heavily overnight (the appropriate time for rain in my opinion) and I checked the mountain for a clue as to the rest of the day...
Is this optimistic or threatening?



A tiny patch of blue has appeared in the sky by the time we had gathered at the end of Forest Hill Road. 




And set off through the overgrown dunes





 
Evidence of rain on the sheoak needles, catching the light and making little rainbows



This looks like native clematis



Lots to distract us as we progress

















 
 
 





To reach the coast





 
Some parts were a bit rugged

 
But the beach was worth the effort


 
We ambled along it








 
To the turnaround point with its geological features



 
 
Then we wandered back again



Found this huge crab lost on the sand

 
 
 
 
but in perspective...much less threatening.
 


There was once an apple shed and jetty here






Retracing our footsteps





No sun, but no rain or wind either.
