As the region prepares itself for more rain and flood
warnings we look back one year ago today
and a swell time at Westward Ho!. It was a warm, balmy day with a
particularly high tide. People never seem to tire of the sight of the mighty
ocean pounding on Westward Ho! slipway rocks and the Pebbleridge. It was fantastic
to capture the stunning rainbow highlight as the “Wild Horses” crashed over the
shore before splashing up high on the pebbles. Surfers were taking
advantage of the huge waves, even the lifeguard took a trip out on his belly
board. This is just one of the Autumn Highlights around Bideford Bay, it’s also
a time for dramatic skies, coast and country walks amidst berry laden hedgerows and burnished bracken. Be on the look-out for late butterflies and fungi, the departure of the swallows and the arrival
of the winter flocks on the Skern. For more Autumn Highlights check out the North Devon
Focus Flickr slideshow. Article Pat Adams 25/9/12
