The weather was in a quandary. Should it rain, dabble in sunshine or be dark and menacing?
Whatever the weather we decided to go for a walk and headed for Carlyon Bay golf course. Not to play though, as I agree with Mark Twain who said, "Golf is a good walk spoiled." I guess I should apologise to any golfers!
Alongside the golf course, overlooking the sea, there is a public footpath with some lovely views. You have to be aware of any stray golf balls, of course.
With the golf course stretched out before us it turned quite dark with a few drops of rain.
Clouds formed as we walked.
We decided to keep walking and visited Spit Beach. From here it is also possible to carry on walking to Par Beach - though the footpath is a bit grotty. The sun did its best to shine.
For a brief moment Spit Beach looked great, with blue-green sea lapping the shore.
We decided to retrace our steps alongside the golf course. Dark clouds built up once more.
The clouds appeared to be almost hovering above the horizon.
With Carlyon Bay beach in view we are nearly back to where we started.
To walk along the side of the golf course park in the Carlyon Bay beach car park. It's a bit bumpy but is often free out of the tourist season. Walk down the hill a short way and on the left is a Public Footpath sign, follow this to where we started our walk. Note that the path can get a bit muddy following heavy rain.
To finish today's post the azalea in our front garden. Thanks for visiting my blog - Mike.
Lovely scenery Mike and what a splendid place for a game of golf. No, I don't play either. Fascinating to see the approaching weather & a lovely photo of your Azalea to finish with.
ReplyDeleteHello David. The weather has been changeable but nice to have a walk and get some fresh air. The azalea is past its best now but has been covered by flowers. Take care.
DeleteWe walked part of this in February. So many beautiful views. My childhood home.
ReplyDeleteThanks for leaving a comment, it's a lovely stretch of coastline. Good wishes.
DeleteA beautiful walk Mike. Your hovering cloud photo is incredible. There was a golf course near why I grew up. The local lads would sneak on, nab the golf balls, then sell them back to the golfers!!! :) x
ReplyDeleteIt's a pleasant walk as long as - you avoid any flying golf balls. Thanks Lulu.
