The northest of the southest

I woke up early and from a weather prespective i was not very keen on heading up north. All the things one could do were out in the open (as most things here...) and with a prognosis for extreme winds and proper rainfall i was veeeery sceptical. At the end i decided to go for it but in a more relaxed manner. At the end the lighthouse will be in place no matter what!
So i took my time with a proper breakfast and some tea, communicated my best compliments to Bruce for what they have achieved and how lovely the place is and hit the road.
It was raining...and raining and raining. Not just a drizle, proper heavy, bucketload type of rain!
Pushed through and commited to it, only to get a freaking dense cloud just before the end that prevented all visibility...lovely!
Crazy wind, more rain...looked very promising...NOT ! ! !
Took some windy images of the lighthouse and headed towards a beach just 2k of a foot trail away. Besides looking amazing it was behind the hill so kind of protected from the wind. The rain also stopped...hmm
And after a quick trail run i found myself alone in the most beautifull beach ever. All mine! Undisturbed, pristine, smooth sand with the heavy waves breaking in a distance and the wind coming ang going from all directions! Felt like running...so i did...felt like swiming...so did...The sun came out! Someone up there had to be watching! I just couldnt believe it!
I had hard time deciding leaving but i had to if i wanted to see the giant sand dunes that were a bit to the south. Passed them before but i had prioritised the ligthouse.
After a short drive that passed through fields and fields of cows and sheep there i was! Another wonder of nature. Sandy mountains filling the horizon from side to side. Two figures in the distant dune running like crazy up and down and i followed along. Wind was picking up and was sandblasting my whole being!
Took another go at running and got in the car to head back. Tonight will be car night. Some planning is needed. And i just realise i spend most of the time writing this...well, it is what it is.Read more
