At 0700 four brave souls made their way to a trough in the shingle in the shelter of the west groyne. The wind was westerly blowing at 17mph with big swells , a strong current and one hour away from high tide. It was misty and grey as we watched the waves crash throwing up surf and shingle. Keith, Paul C and sara made their way into the surf and Sara's goggles were swiped off her face; steadied herself and returned to face the fury of the sea. Joan played it safe at the water's edge but was pulled off the shingle and into the surf a couple of times. After approx. 20 minutes Sarah made her way out followed by Keith and then Paul's face appeared in a wall of water and he crashed into the surf fighting his way out. A hot drink was had in the warm morning sunshine. All back safely.
