Lacanau Beach...Pine trees and Jelly fish

As I write this we have moved on from Lacanau  and moved twice and further south...but ill let you read all about that in a mo.

Lacanau is very spectacular endless pine forests and endless weather fronts, particularly windy ones. On the surf front this means the waves have been shockingly blown out leaving just white mush, not the clean barrels of the first surf. So when its windy we put on our walking boots and head out along the miles of shore line that have no foot prints on.

 Of course you do stumble across the odd blancmange that Harley thinks is edible. This fella was the largest jelly fish we came across a good 60cm in dia.

Living close to the coast we know all to well about the way wind plays with the trees bending them and shaping them overtime. A classic spot for this is the road along the back of the Swordfish pub (sadly gone but not forgotten) in Hillhead. The trees there have been molded into the direction of the prevailing wind, but I've never seen trees shaped quite like the Lacanau pine tress.

As with most walks we tend to stop off at one of the local bars to replenish the fluids and to take on some important nutrition......

 One for Sean.......and yes that is the splash of cola at the bottom......

And just a small beer for me...its a Formidable 1Lt of beer somehow the Giraffe at 2.5Lt seemed a step too far..I put it down to wearing the Ironman jacket and people getting the wrong idea.
