I've been wary of joining any challenges but I walked a kilometre on the beach today so have done 10 minutes twice.I also slowly ran across one bay as the tide was out and the sand firm ๐Ÿ˜.

It's the first time I've been down the slopes and steps to the actual beach since 12 July ๐Ÿ˜ I'm so happy and the sun shone for me.

Enjoy your walks challengers, I took my time and took so many photos ๐Ÿ˜

Thanks, it's been such a great day and the beach has been calling, the slopes are quite steep and I've not felt safe on them until now so it's big progress. This photo from the top

Thatโ€™s great news Sue! The good weather makes such a difference.. what a glorious day it has been, and what a change from earlier in the week.

Yes, we had 3 days of rain, rain and more rain .

We certainly did.. this was where we turned back on our walk in rain and wind on Tuesday (which I had intended to put in a post but didnโ€™t get round to..) We decided not to risk going past the railings and down the steps to the beach.. usually there is a trickle of water but it had become a noisy waterfall! Expand the photo to see the torrent..

Goodness that is a lot of water and not safe, but the power and beauty of nature ๐Ÿ’“

PeggySusiโ€ข in reply toSueAppleRun

Yes exactly.. we had set off on a duty dog walk feeling tired and grumpy and unmotivated, then found our planned short walk route closed for repairs - so we turned down the cold windy route to the sea feeling even more grumpy, but by the time we got there we were cheered up - and went home feeling thoroughly invigorated.. (and wet through)..๐Ÿคฃ

That's the thing with walking isn't it? Tired, unmotivated and grumpy, but after a while then good mood shines through ๐Ÿ˜

Exactly! Nice!

CBDBAdministratorโ€ข in reply toPeggySusi

Wow! That looks dangerous and slippy. Turning back would also have been my safe choice!

PeggySusi profile image
PeggySusiโ€ข in reply toCBDB

Definitely! For a second I thought the dog was going in, and I had a vision of her being washed under that railing and over the edge.. luckily I shouted to her and she stopped but it was a heart-stopping moment.. what the photo doesnโ€™t show is the noise of the rushing water..

I can imagine the noise just looking at that water rushing to that point in the pathway.

I love seeing all those pics! Such a beautiful place to walk, and so awesome for you to get out there and back to walking. Take it easy and slow. As Oldfloss taught us: slowly does it!

I can't go anything but slow, but it's just so good to be out and the sun was lovely today,

Go you!! This will power and determination is so admirable and inspiring!

Grumpy and reluctant-as mentioned in other replies- just about sums me up but effort usually cheers the spirits and strength can rebuild incrementally from it. X
