Condoms and beer cans

Went in for swim with Si (reluctantly, if there had been even anything that looked like a wave Si would have gone in for a surf) at Newquay Bay. We ended up parking alongside a (used?) condom and further illustration of Newquay's less than picturesque side were provided by the collage of beer cans and cigarette butts on the rocks as we made our way into the sea.

Water was cold - so cold in fact that I could not compete with Si and acknowledged that the only way I could continue swimming was with rash vest hood well and truly over my head...

Swam to Tolcarne beach and back and felt 'good'.
