Gwithian in the sunshine

GWITHIAN PICNIC

Waking up to the blazing sun coming through our bedroom window, only one thing was on our minds - Beachhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....
We grabbed some cheese topped rolls, a bottle of sugar free lemonade and a selection of cold meats and salad bits from the fridge (Lidl picnic special) and ran out of the house. Throwing our battered wellies and a picnic blanket in the boot, we set off for an adventure.

 Following the coastline, passing sheer drops and rugged seas, we headed for Gwithian. On arrival, we clambered into our wellingtons and off we stomped to find the beach, clasping tightly onto our picnic bag. No Sidney Seagulls were going to get our lunch today!
We decided to opt crossing over the small bridge to the left and clamber over the large pebbles onto Gwithian Beach. The other option is to climb the steps on the right and walk along the sand dunes up to Godrevy Lighthouse, but that was for another day.
Once over the hill, the view hits you like a wet fish. The salty sea air and the crunch of pebbles underfoot makes our adventure even more exciting! We can't wait to get our toes in the water.
The beach just went on for miles.........
As every foot step sank into the sand, we etched our way around the cliffs towards the right and then we caught site of the wonderful Godrevy lighthouse in all it's glory. TBC
