A simple seascape from a quick visit to Pebbly Beach on Friday, just because I like the colour of the water :)
At the back of the beach are some rather large sand dunes, which in itself wasn't necessarily a problem, being used to enjoying beach workouts and sand dune runs. I did however underestimate the steepness and the softness of the sand. You take one step forward 20cms or so and then you would literally sink back 15cms. It was faster dropping to your knees and dragging yourself up. That probably explained the lack of any other footprints, or footsinks I should say, Halfway up my quads were trying to talk my hammies and glutes into going on strike and telling my bossy brain they were stopping. I was on their side but much to my dismay my brain tricked them and told them we were nearly to the top and keep going.
The views from the top were quite spectacular and worth it though, a different view of a beach I have been to several times. After rolling back down I sat down at the bottom to rest with a drink of water and an apple and soak in this simple view. I wish I could have got onto that rock to dangle my feet in that inviting looking water, but the tide was coming in so didn't risk it.
Have a great sanddune-free weekend everyone!
