Soar Mill Cove

Stormy start
Walk down to Soar Mill Cove
Met woman with dog - "what a corker", "yes, bit a looks like a shower is coming", "well, it's what happens"
Cows block the path
Wide views of the sea
Flock of small birds over edge of cliffs
Few people on the beach
Tide out
Robin greeting me in adjoining field
Walk onto beach over babbling brook
Explored the beach, caves at the back
Cove in a great bowl of rock, high and jagged on either side
Two great rocks on the beach
Picked up a small stone with rock and spar
Seagulls sailing above
Seaweed on the sand
Walked up other side and sat on outcrop looking back down the coast eating lunch
Very cold wind
Sea crashing on rocks below, white froth
Carried on round rock outcrops past flowering gorse
Walked up to high outcrop
Surveyed the views up and down the coastline
Sheltered behind high standing stone as a storm passed.
Walked back down to Cove
Decided to wait for the sun and was rewarded by a kestrel passing
Sun arrived giving stunning views down coastline
Cloudscapes over the sea
Walked back down to beach with tide coming in.
Man carries tree trunk driftwood
Family fire
High waves rolling in, with wind blowing water back off the tops of the waves, backlit by the sun
Leave the beach and sea chaffinch on fence, which then flies into adjoining field.
Walk back up to headland with more views back down the coast
Blackbird flies out of gorse and over the cliff edge.
Sun gets low on horizon, backlighting more cows
Sun sets over sea as driving home and near full moon rises beautifully into blue sky..Read more
