Beachwalk

After days of mega-hot weather, we enjoyed an overcast morning for our beachwalk. When we set off at 7.30 am, the only people on the beach were fishermen, but this soon changed as all the dog walkers came out. Between Floreat and Scarborough is a dog beach (not my choice, but it's a good 4 km walk and the destination is always in sight).

The sea was rough and had thrown up lots of seaweed. Jolanda (expert naturalist from the Nats Club) was interested in the different types, especially the seed pods which would burst and grow new plants on the ocean floor.

I also filmed an expert kitesurfer in action (look on my Instagram). We arrived at Scarborough and rested on the grass overlooking the beach, a popular spot on a Sunday morning:

Walking back on the soft sand (hard on my hip) and into the wind would not be a good idea, I decided. Two of us took the roadside and arrived back at Floreat ahead of the group. Now its back to the heatwave: global warming is real!
