Although a chilly, windy morning, a drive further up the coast walking to the back of the Tabourie Village along forest tracks and the beach attracted 15 members and 3 visitors.
Although sheltered, the winding forest tracks were strewn with twigs brought down by the high wind, and in one section erosion of the track required careful negotiating. Morning tea on the beach meant ‘skiing’ down a sand dune on deep, soft sand. The descent was more fun than the climb back to the track! The sea was whipped up with white capped waves that had attracted a group of young surfers. A couple of rogue waves caught a few of us who looking for hard sand near the shore, and had to jump to avoid wet feet! Unfortunately the rough seas still covered the sand bar to Crampton Island where the plan was to have lunch, so we returned via the boardwalk to the picnic area for lunch and our cars.
My thanks to participants who braved a chilly morning start in the Bay to go north where, as the morning progressed, it became warmer.
