08 November 2015 ........... Another day of stormy seas
Another day with stormy seas, and this time I was along by Locks Common - this is quite a rugged and rocky section of coast, and at one point there is a gash into the rocks about 10 or 15 metres wide - I am not sure about this, but I think it may be called Gwter Hopsog.
You can stay up on the elevated section, or, at lower tide levels, climb down into the gash.
Here are a couple of pictures taken from up on higher rocks - and just look at the rocks. I think it is all limestone, so the sea erodes the rocks into the most amazing shapes.
Down in the gash now, and some more breaking waves throwing up big plumes of spray.
One of the features of the gash is the vertical sides - varying in height roughly between 2 and 4 metres. You can just see the end of one of the walls in these pictures.
Back up on another bit of the elevated rocks, and more wave action. Also a wee bit of the other side of the gash.
The walls of course provided a great opportunity for a bit of bouldering, so I spent some time climbing / scrambling up different bits.
Some of the walls are fairly smooth, but other bits are deeply eroded with handholds the size of pint glasses - now that`s my kind of climbing !
