Saturday Stroll – Windy Walk

Please note, only the dog gave permission for her photos to appear. Does NOT include unflattering pictures of windswept walkers. This was the day Storm Floris hit Scotland and the north of England, but only a Force five wind on Hengistbury Head.

How do you like your walks? Windy, sunny, hilly or flat?

      1. You do have to watch it – the sea is unbelievably powerful. I learned that the hard way in Fuerteventura when I went wave jumping with a friend and we both nearly got washed out to sea!

        I did a wave windsurfing course in Ireland and it took me 45 minutes to get back to shore when I fell off in huge mast-high waves. I emerged with a seaweed wig! I was furious when my instructor told me, “I’m glad that happened to you!”

        He did have a point. I was under his watchful eye, and I got back to shore. So effectively, nothing happened! And as he said, to be a wave sailor, you have to be as comfortable under the water as you are on top of it.

        Which is why I am not a wave sailor!

      2. Phew, you were lucky, or a good swimmer. There is always someone being pulled out of the sea dead in the news. I am a swim parallel to the shore in my depth person, but at least I go in the sea, lots of people wouldn’t dream of going in.

  6. It looks like the storm warning kept most people at home. I like woodland walks these days, and preferably flat. But there was a time not so long ago when I would walk anywhere, especially ‘up hill and down dale’. 😊

    Best wishes, Pete.

    1. Thanks Marsha, that was one cool windy day in the midst of lots of sunshine and it would have cooled you. We are having a mini heatwave again this week. Not as hot as your temperatures. I have to convert from Celsius. I reckon we will be 75 today, some parts of the country might hit 85. When we went to Australia there was great excitement the first time the thermometer hit the century, one hundred Fahrenheit!
