Piccies!

[hils]

Ok, here are the photos from my trip yesterday. This is NOT a dialup friendly post. Just shy of 30 pics under the cut



Robin Hood's Bay just as we arrived


Heading down to the sea. It's not a dirty beach btw. That's mostly seaweed and silt


Derek checking the rockpool for 'beasties'


Climbing over the rocks was a scary experience. LOL!


The village. Note the sky getting darker


I started to get a bad feeling


But still managed to smile for a photo, even though the thunder had already started


Yikes!


The boys got their umbrellas out


We got soaked but took refuge in a shop. The storm moved away


Less than an hour later the sky looked like this


We headed back down to the beach


That's where we'd been standing when the storm hit


Moi


Lovely blue sky


Moi again


The village looking brighter


Derek gleefully throwing rocks into a pool and trying to splash Lord Matthew


Me and the sea


Derek tries to push Lord Matthew into the water


Hee! The tied came in while the boys were messing around and they got cut off from the shore


Wading was required


I was already back on dry land so just watched them with amusement


From my comfy rock


The village from the top of the hill, with the sea in the background


The same view as the first photo, only now the tide has come in


The Hole of Horcum. I was (erroniously) told this was caused by a meteor hitting but the interwebs tell me it's been caused by natural erosion.
