sawylLovely afternoon walk from Branscombe to Beer and back again. The weather was fantastically good for October: overcast at times but warm and dry with some amazing crepuscular rays. Branscombe bay was the site of the grounding of the Napoli back in early 2007 and these days there's an anchor on the beach to mark the event:
The weather wasn't nearly as bad as it looks here:
En route, E found some blackberries which she pronounced very tasty overall, if a bit variable in quality...
More brooding clouds and shafts of sunlight, this time looking back from the top of the hill towards the Sea Shanty with Branscombe village visible up the valley to the right.
My favourite photo of the day: portrait of E against the backdrop of Branscombe village and truly spectacular sky.
One last shot of dramatic clouds and craggy cliffs looking west:
Looking back along the coast the first inlet is Branscombe, the bay with the promontories at either end is Sidmouth, and then Buddley further down and eventually the way to Exe estuary.
After stopping for tea at the Anchor Inn in Beer, we retraced our steps just as the sun was setting
Then it was just a short trip back to town, getting caught up in road works on the way back into the city and home to prepare for tomorrow's adventures...
