Sunday at Saunton

Postby CheeZee » Tue Jun 21, 2005 10:35 am

Hey all ...

just wanted to post to see if anyone else was down at saunton over the weekend ?... was saturday as nice as i was told ??!

i missed out on Saturday as work rules all ! ... but managed to sneak down on Sunday evening :)
Its a 2&half hour drive so Had to rip down there in time to get an hour in the water before dark , all was going well untill forgot where one of the speedcams is and " flash " ..nutz ! .. that makes twelve esso points on my licence now :evil: ... anyhow thought stuff it " .. its fathers day and this will be a perfect way to end the day .
Sunset was drawing in and i was just getting into Barnstaple ' and then " gutted " ..the fools the mad mad fools have dug the town centre up ??????!!! Diversion signs 'sending me hurtling at high speed in the wrong direction . By now humour had gone and regard for all other life on earth had ceased , i knew i had like an hour or so tops ... one handbrake turn at a crossroad later ! and i found a shortcut to my beloved Saunton ...

There were only four of us in the water by 9:30 and we were blessed with one of the most stunning sunsets ever :D

Peace and love to all that got their toes in the water over the weekend :wink:

hi phil !

Glad to hear you made it down for saturday .. i knew it would be a good day :wink:

" yeh sunday " ! , .. i screamed into the carpark in me saab at about 8:00 ish ... i did see a couple of guys by the rocks and then one left .. must have been you i saw wandering up the beach ! .
I was right in the middle of the beach sort of thing ..about 10 of us spread out , that went down to just four out there by 9pm ...an amazing sunset that lasted untill about 10pm ... " wicked " :D

Always give me a holler when your heading down , i sure as hell could do with some instruction ..im back to wobbly 'knee' popups and only lasting about 3secs before ... " in i go " :? !!!

a good weekend all round ... good to hear that saturday turned into " one to remember " for ya :wink:
