Rain or shine, anywhere on the coast looks good to me! O0

Really enjoyed seeing these pictures. We've walked Brean Down a couple of times, when we've been on holiday down there, and I think it's a wonderful place.  :)

The rain and wind was terrible up there. This day all my Paramo stuff (jacket and trousers), just leaked like a sieve. I was soaked through and cold. Normally. I would of taken more photos!
Though, I am glad I did the walk!

Never heard of it before, just had to look it up to find out where it was. Looks beautifully desolate.

Some class Brean Down, as the Mendip Hills meets the sea?
I thought the Mendip Hills stopped at Bleadon.
You can see Cardiff clearly from the top of the down. I could just about see Cardiff in the distance, but couldn't get a photo of that view!

I love Brean Down. You got a nice shot of the bouncing bomb launching rails (an attempt to use the idea as an anti-shipping weapon).
