The Early Bird Catches The Worm's Head, 30 March

The sun rose from the sea and shone across the gentle waves into our breakfast room, where the lifeboat used to be kept at the ready.  We needed some readying too - coffee on the launch ramp, then a big cooked breakfast.

Thus prepared, a day out with our local comrades, the Tawe Trekkers.  Onto the coastal path again in the direction of the Worm's Head.  This being an island with a tidal causeway, we had a low-tide deadline to keep, although the contingency of breaking into faster and more relaxed teams soon went a bit tortoise-and-hare as the 'fast' group negotiated some vertiginous cliffs and the 'slow' group confidently overtook on the easy route!  But, we all made it Rhossili, and those of us who still had a head for heights climbed the Worm's Head itself, while other LRWG artists constructed a small model of Hadrian's Wall with sandcastles (Offa's Dyke looking a bit vague in sand).

Back to base for pizza, and lots of it.
