Nice day for it

Above expression was ushered to me by one of the surfers in at Penhale this morning and weather wise he was correct - not sure how rideable surf there was.

I was in swimming, at what was a new spot for me and one I shall definitely be returning to. A fantastic visage when we got out of the car and stood looking out over the tops of the dunes.

Admittedly on reflection I should have paid greater attention to my surroundings as when I got out and finally saw Mr T-Shirt waving to me I headed up the dunes in his general direction, only to find I was lost! Spend about 10 minutes wandering around before giving up and thinking I would have to walk home. At that stage I fortuitously saw Mr T-Shirt by his car, so all ended well.

Whilst in the water had a flashback to 2004 Perranporth triathlon at one stage when I found myself waist deep after what felt like 10 minutes of swimming 'through' the breakers

Regardless, must try and persuade Si to come for a surf at Penhale as it was quite stunning: when in the water I felt I could have been in at Famara, Lanzarote - one of my favourite beaches (based on my one visit).
