11:00am-ish:
We've parked up at the National Trust car park behind the dunes
to the north of Hayle and…….um….. there's a touch of inclement weather about.
But don't worry, it'll clear up soon.
We've got soaked between the car and the car park cafe, had tea and a bun,
dried out slightly, and are now back outside and on the footpath above the dunes.
We are already properly soaked, even through our raincoats.
But don't worry, it'll clear up soon.
Hayle beach and the view to Carbis Bay.
Weirdly, there are no dogs being walked on the beach at the mo'.
But don't worry it'll clear up soon.
Vicky is ordered to turn into the weather for a shot with Godrevy Lighthouse.
She instantly confirms that the wind is 'bracing'
(all blasphemous adjectives have been edited out).
But don't worry it'll clear up soon.
After a 1.5 mile walk with the bracing wind and stinging rain in our backs
we have achieved our objective - The Godrevy grey seal colony.
It's still raining and the wind is determined to blow us over the cliff face
but don't worry it'll clear up soon.
Eleven grey seals.
Not as many as last October and no pups.
They look as tho' they are enjoying the weather even less than us.
But don't worry it'll clear up soon.
Making our way back to the car park and it's time
for a 'Donald Trump', by the looks of things.
It's hard work, this walking against the wind and rain malarky
but don't worry it'll clear up soon.
2:00pm-ish and we're back in Carbis Bay and drying out.
But don't worry it'll clear up soon.
3:30pm-ish:
It's a window of opportunity.
Time to get back out there.
Life's a beach once again.
Rosa is 9 months old and greets us as if she has known us all her life.
In a word - irresistible.
Another friendly dog owner takes our photo.
There's rain clouds over St Ives and they're headed our way.
Time to leave.
Back home tomorrow (boo).
