Cheers,Ray…Yes, I was well wrapped up and had headgear with ear flaps and most importantly a chin strap...(its called 'experience..lol) I did lose my camera/lens rain cover though whilst changing a lens crouching down behind the wall--sunnyside view..here. It blew away a bit and then was whisked up at high speed and corkscrewing quite high and then a straight wind off the sea caught it and off it went over Porth Cawl..lol
Also, I had to change a lens when I was over the other side,behind the lighthouse (first set of photos here) .The car was just 15 metres away on the road and I opened the boot-it's a 5-door Prius..It was at that moment that I wished I'd parked facing west..where the wind was coming from. I had to hang on really tightly to stop it blowing up and over the roof,obviously wrenching it off the hinges. Thinking now, as I write, I should have gone onto the rear seat,dropped one side and accessed the camera bag from there. The winds must have been 50/60mph. gusting to 70-mph.
