Very strong westerlies meant that the summit of the Little Orme was an exciting place to be taking in the views from today. Rather than get soaked and blown around, I opted to take my students to a much drier location and even though a few squalls blew through, we just about stayed dry.
Facing into the wind, we could lean over to a severe angle, without falling and lost a couple of hats in the process!
Dropping down onto the sheltered side, we went to see if there were many seals on the beach - I counted 112! And there were plenty form in the water. We could hear them barking and wailing - it must had been an eerie sound if you didn't know they were down there and you arrived after dark or in the mist.
On the final section of our nearly 9km hike, the rains caught up with us. We barely got wet, but were treated to several amazing rainbow.
