We awoke this morning to some really wild weather on our lofty pitch at Wave Crest. Compared to this scene when we had pitched up, it could have been a different planet!
The weather was howling in from the west after crossing the Atlantic with torrential rain and strong, gusting winds which persisted all day long. Most of our neighbours had retreated to the lower pitches. No-one arrived all day and very few people seemed to venture outside.
I did seriously consider moving the van such was the buffeting it was getting. In the end we decided to stay in all day and endure the rough ride. This did get a little scary at times though 🙂 I think in hindsight we should have moved to a more sheltered pitch.
The day was spent playing scrabble, drinking coffee, and, the highlight for me, watching the Gannets diving for fish right in front of the caravan 🙂 A bit of wild weather wasn’t bothering them!
The fierce weather continued all day and the only saving grace was that we weren’t towing the caravan, that would have been very uncomfortable.
“Batten down the hatches, we’re not going anywhere today”.
