Distance Covered:

Sat in the van and contemplated going windsurfing, but the lightning put me off, Harvey then got washed up on the beach and persuaded me to go out surfing. We launched from the rocks and paddled out. Leigh, Amos and a few others joined us. had a couple of Ok waves, but it was pretty messy out there. then an ALMIGHTY hail storm came trhough, after a few minutes of literally not being able to open your eyes to look out to sea, not being able to see a thing and loads of pain as hailstone the size of marbles hit us driven along by a 40 knot squall, we all headed in an sheltered behind the Lifeboat Station.... My ears are still stinging now, and I've even got a few cuts on my fingers from the hail stones... Pretty extreme and kind of exciting though... Mother Nature won the day!
