Walking at Friars Cliff on Tuesday 2nd June 2026

When we met at Avon Run Road Car Park around 13.50, the sun was shining and it looked like a pleasant walk ahead. However, by the time we reached the Beach Hut Cafe, the rain had arrived. We waited a little while then split into two groups; one group decided to stay at the cafe whilst the other, with waterproofs, decided to walk a bit further. The rain was intermittent but we managed to walk to Steamer Point Nature Reserve and back without getting too wet. Sheltering under the trees and beach hut canopies assisted us along our way.

As usual, delicious cake and coffee/tea at the Beach Hut put a smile on everyone's face. A huge thank you to the staff at the cafe who were busy, as many like us, were sheltering from the rain when it became much heavier.
