Evening All,
I've just got back from a short holiday in Somerset and one of the places we visited was Brean Beach between Burnham-on-Sea and Weston-super-Mare. Like Black Rock Sands and Pendine Sands in Wales, it has sand that is firm enough to enable cars to be parked directly on the beach. It's around 6½ - 7 miles long and it has the second highest tidal range in the world, so when the tide goes out, it really does go out! Given good weather it's a splendid place to visit and on a clear day you can see the coast of South Wales across the Bristol Channel.
We were unlucky with the weather, but went there anyway. It was grey and windy, but I managed to shoot a few feet of video and if anyone's interested to see what it's like, here's the link:
TTFN,
Ron.
