Durlston & Anvil Point on a Very Windy Morning

Tuesday 31st March 2015

Last night was windy, very windy and I believe it was like it all over the country, and this morning the wind just kept blowing! We had a quick walk at Durlston Country Park, where looking out to sea the swell was unusually large, the waves were being blown parallel to the coast, not something you see everyday!  Despite the wind it was a lovely sunny morning.

Looking towards Peveril Point with Old Harry Rocks in the distance.

and the same view without the trees!



The sideways swell.

Looking towards the lighthouse at Anvil Point.

From this point it was difficult to stay upright, not great!  

Waves crashing near the Tilly Whim Caves.

There were plenty of sea birds flying around, and many stayed  hunkered down on the cliffs - I can't say I blame them, with the wind as it was they risked being blown to France in a few minutes! Actually it's a wonder we didn't get blown there too!  Despite the wind we had a lovely breath of fresh air on a perfect morning, it doesn't get much better than this.
