Low Tide – High Spirits

After taking four days off running with just some biking to keep fresh in order to let my body recover from the efforts of last week (Yes Sergei I showed common sense!) I waited today until a very low tide to get back out for a 9 mile run. Was out for around two hours but managed to do some rock scrambling at Witches Point and took a look around at the different features which can only be seen at the lowest tides.

Thee rocks are covered much of the time – The erosion makes for interesting formations and a fun scramble

Im not saying the snails here are slow but they even have mini limpets growing on them!

Coral type sea stuff (TM) – Not actually sure what it is – some sort of organisms building homes I think
