Tregantle Fort

Another showery day, so we decided not to go too far in case it rained and we were not able to walk.  As it was still August we were able to walk across the firing range in front of Tregantle Fort instead of taking the other path along the road.  As the weather was not that good we were able to park by the gate to the firing range.

Initially we walked down to the beach.  It was nearing high tide so we could not walk far along the beach and it was too windy to sit and watch those brave enough to go in the sea. Kite surfers were doing the best in the conditions.

We then climbed back to the top and followed the path through the firing range in front of the fort.  Once we came to the other path we continue to walk in a westerly direction for a while.  The views in both directions were wonderful, although the would have been even better if it had been a sunny day.  Dark clouds were gathering so we decided we had chanced the weather long enough so we turned back.

Whitsand Bay

A pleasant, easy walk.  It would probably have been even more spectacular at low tide when you could see more of the beaches at Whitsand Bay.
