It's becoming a bit difficult to keep up with all the storms that keep marching in to the British Isles but the latest one, Storm Henk, mostly battered more southern parts of the UK. Here, late yesterday afternoon, it was giving us an easterly, coming straight in off the North Sea and piling waves into the bay area in front of Golspie. This picture, of the mouth of the Golspie Burn at the north end of the village, shows spume, not snow.
The bay was a cauldron of angry water, the waves breaking right across the coast path and promenade, while at the southern end of the promenade....
....the pier was taking a battering as was the....
....sea wall just below Golspie Boat Club's buildings.
If this is the assault we're getting off a 3.5m tide and a following wind only just gusting to gale force, I shudder to think what it'll be like in a full gale or above.
