Porthcawl Short Break
Well all 46 of us are back. What a week. We had everything. Nice comfortable hotel, good food, lovely staff, excellent company and the weather! What can we say about the weather? You could take your pick from sunshine, blue skies, warm and then we went downhill slightly. Fantastic sky formations of black and even blacker, squally showers and amazing seascapes of crashing rolling waves. We did a whole lot better than some parts of the country though. Did it deter us? No! Our excursions were good. Cardiff is a beautiful City with the Castle right in the City Centre, we partied at night and a good time was had by all. We even braved Friday’s M6!
Ramblers defeated by storm Ciaran
10 very intrepid ramblers relocated todays ramble from Dolphinholme near Lancaster to a local walk due to concerns about flooding. We decided to walk from Waterloo to Formby, which, although not up to our usual level of difficulty, would give us a decent length walk where the area would hopefully be dry. However storm Ciaran had different ideas! Having travelled by train to Waterloo we walked along the edge of the Marine Lake where the waves were being whipped up by the wind, but at least it was only a light drizzle if a little breezy. Turning the corner onto the promenade we were met with a severe onward wind which increased in intensity as we walked. The sand was whipped up as we walked giving everyone a good sand blasting on the face! The light drizzle then changed into a downpour and it wasn’t long before everyone was soaked in spite of good walking gear. Part of the walk had to be on the beach as the pathways have now been overtaken by the dunes and walking there is impossible. Reaching Crosby area we decided to leave the promenade and take to the footpath in the hope of getting a little shelter from the wind and driving rain. However by the time we reached Blundellsands the weather was even worse so we sensibly decided to abandon the ramble and head for the nearest station to return home. This is the first time we have been foiled by the weather but the safety of walkers is paramount and we all agreed this was the right decision. Thanks to everyone who turned out today and I hope you all dried out quickly!
