Urm I'd say the second was Croyde, cause it looks a bit too pounding for Saunton...but im not too sure.
Pic 5 is definitely Croyde i'd say? But theres no sign of Lundy...damn im bad at this!!
Looking pretty good though huh!

I can assure you can only see it properly out on the slab.... Look at a map.
Looking towards baggy point you see it. Looking out to sea you see Westward Hoe into Heartland point.

Ah the September Sunsets. Towards the end of sept each year the sun sets right though the middle of lundy its sweet to see... From Baggy or Woolacombe!
I truly assure you, it can only be seen just looking up baggy point or on baggy point its self. you can't see it from the beach :p

Aye no worries... One thing for deffo is that you can't see it looking from teh beach. Like I said you might be able to see the edge of it at low tide or when your out back... but thats all

yep. was a big week. i got caught inside three times quckly in a row, then hit by some one elses board (got some badass bruises) and then realised i couldnt push myself up to sitting cos i was so knackered so i grabbed on my board and let it wash me in, been out for 3/4 hours that day and i was so tired!
