People 'up their necks' at infamous Llandudno beach as tide surged in
Visitors are being reminded that a 'little mistake' can have dire consequences



Last night (Saturday, July 12), three visitors were left marooned on a beach that’s infamous for catching out the unwary. The RNLI Conwy lifeboat crew was alerted at 9.30pm to reports of people on life raft off West Shore, Llandudno.
I remember our forum friend Norman helping to prevent something similar happening a few years ago.   Locals do know best

The sunset last night wasn't as good as the previous night but it was still nice to watch.    We are able to see the Isle of Man from here because of the height where we live.    It's 61  miles away and Northern Island is 126 miles away as the Crow flies.
I've attached a few photos of some of the Sunsets that we have had from here in the past.

There's a significant lack of planning and simply brains in terms of anticipating the effects of weather on activities, too. Five extreme running events on Snowdon were given the chop, with the organisers saying "Due to extreme temperatures, it is no longer safe to continue with the event....Our top priority is the safety and wellbeing of all participants. Please bear with us as we focus on ensuring everyone returns safely."

Shame, really, that they hadn't checked with the Met Office prior to starting the thing.
