Yes, we saw that whilst coming off the Orme-- it seemed to be raising some kind of filter for inspection.
Too nasty to linger long anywhere though ! :(

We went back this morning, more sand painfully blasting back in  :roll: good winds for the wind surfers though!

looks like the councils latest response to the west shore sand problem is a repeat of 2½ years ago

If they were light bulbs they'd be 20 watts, what a shower. :(

They are still busy at it on West Shore today,  levelling the sand off and by my estimate the beach level has increased by a further foot. It was also  evident in parts that the sand has already started to blow back over the wall but that's not surprising.

There was some activity going on at the Penmorfa site and it appeared that they were bringing in some metal pylons so perhaps some work is due to commence shortly.   ???

Most of the metal pylons seem to have gone so perhaps they are not going to start work on the site soon.

this guy should keep on tracking to the dole office its obvious he is just playing at levelling this sand and just getting his time in.i took my two dogs to that end of the beach a week ago,and was surprised to see a 3ton dumper driver drive to this spot and empty what was less than three barrow loads of sand.they must be on daywork.

It was such a beautiful day today that I thought that I'd go on the West Shore for a walk with our dog. I put on all my windproof walking gear but found that it was so warm that I didn't need them.
First of all I walked to the White Rabbit Statue and had a look at the sandbank in the yachting lake and it's growing by the day!  Then I decided to walk along the cycle track to where the Black Rocks used to be before returning back to my car.
It was lovely to see so many people out in the sunshine making the most of it.
