A rainy walk to the wreck

Having made a rash statement about a cool January, we were (mis)treated to a scorcher of a day on Wednesday, then a cooler day yesterday and a promise of a drizzle today. Our hike took us the end of the plush and picturesque suburb of Llandudno. Our destination - via famed nudist beach (although slightly passe now, I would think), was the point overlooking the remains of the wreck of the Boss. It's a lovely walk on a cool day, with waves washing against smooth granite boulders jumbled along the shoreline, views to the horizon of shipping rounding the Cape of Good Hope and on a clear day like today, the white dunes up the West Coast.
No nudists were in evidence, it being cool and becoming cloudy and we enjoyed a relatively easy scramble up the hillside although loose rocks can be hazardous at times. We kept a weather eye on the line of cloud creeping in from the south west and it gradually became apparent that we were going to be caught in a massive cloudburst while on the most exposed part of the mountain. Waterproof jackets and windcheaters were donned, while I hauled out my trusty Heinz Baked Beans black bin bag (no photo here), and it proved to be the most waterproof of all, except for the channelling of the water from the hood straight down my front! The rain soon passed and we settled down for refreshments and drying out time before heading back. A longish walk of nearly 4 hours with a few stragglers holding us up, and we got rained on again just before reaching the cars. Most enjoyable!
