The Last Two Beaches on our List

Friday 10th October

When we set out on this recent short break of 10 days we had a list of locations to visit. These were the last two on that list, but first Vanessa wanted to try to capture a few more birds. So before lunch we went out to try our luck again.


After lunch we headed off to Trebarwith Strand, but a very quick survey of the beach revealed that low tide wasn’t going to work and a high tide could provide some dramatic images, so we would return later.

So we headed off Crackington Haven which would have also been good at high tide, but as we can’t be in two places at once we captured what we could with the conditions available.


After a coffee we returned back to the motorhome to give Holly her dinner and start to prepare the motorhome for tomorrow’s journey home. The plan was to head back to Trebarwith and hope we get a sunset this time (as luck hasn’t been with us during this trip).

As we expected the conditions were much better and the incoming tide was making for some great images.

Finally the sun appeared on the horizon, but not enough to give us the warm light we wanted.

You have to look carefully, but there was a narrow gap in the clouds for the sun to peak through. However, we were happy with the results we got today and headed off for our own evening meal.

Tomorrow we head home, so this will be the last post until our next trip.
