Beach Party!
11 Jul 2008
Hello!
Like Glastonbury, most years, we managed to still have a great night out despite the weather ruining just about every activity we wanted to try!
- BBQ? - Not in that weather
- Swimming? - Sea too rough for our life guard cover
- Frisbee? - Too windy
- Power kites? - Again too much wind for Rob's big kite to be safe and his small one was broken
- Paddling? - Only a certain lad from Tullis (who'd brought his dry suit!) braved the waters..
- Sun bathing? - We wish
However, in true British fashion, we made the best of it! The rain abated and we spent an hour or so mucking about on the beach before a quick visit to the arcade on the pier. Cap it all of with fish and chips from the paper and our own personal fireworks display (well maybe it wasn't just for us) and it wasn't all bad!
See you on at the weekend for our trip to Gilwell!
