Cue for a song! "Oh we do like to be beside the seaside"

| Day 6 - What a view |
Wow! What a lovely day today.
 |
| Sheltering from a spit of rain |
We have been blessed with loads of sun & only the very occasional light, shower that pretended to be rain.
In contrast to yesterday today's weather has been positively balmy!
Also, in contrast to yesterday, we had a really pleasant, enjoyable (almost hitch free) day.
I won't mention about trying to send Ali right instead of left at one point.
Left was the path, right was not and would have got into a bit of a mess!!
On the windward leg of the walk we almost had the miles of beach to ourselves.
It started with acres of sand fringed by the Marram grass of the dunes.
This turned into sand littered with pebbles near the dunes and bounded by the sand nearer the sea.
As we reached the tip of Whiteford Sands, at the point, the dunes towered over the rocks and crushed shells of the point itself.
In the estuary mouth, just off the point we could see the remains of Whiteford Point Lighthouse, the only surviving wave-swept, cast-iron lighthouse within the UK, and one of only two worldwide!
After yesterday's debacle it made a really pleasant change to feel the warmth of the sun and to really enjoy a day with beautiful views and the peace and solitude of coastal dunes and salt marshes.
Only two more days to go and the least said about the weather forecast the better!!
