Rough sea at Widemouth Bay Climbing to the viewpoint at Lower Longbeak, provided this view of the rocks looking towards Bude. The wind was running close to a gale, spray rising up and the waves too messy for surfing, or much else for that matter. Keeping the camera still proved difficult, keeping oneself still was hard enough. As someone pointed out, there is nothing to stop the wind between here and New York.
