The weather turned from mild and overcast with a steady breeze to wet and windy and quite a blow.
It was a good job I found my waterproof over-trousers yesterday and put them in the car, shame I didn't stop to put them on.
There are contractors on site clearing the invasive Sea Buckthorn from the fore-dunes, they are using some heavy machinery to clear the Sea Buickthorn and are cutting and "mulching" as they go then the area will be sprayed with a Glysophate in the spring to clear any new growth.

This smaller machine with a hammer flail is used to clear the hard to reach places |
As dramatic as this may seem the Sea Buckthorn is not native to Wales and occurs naturally only along the East coast of the UK, in order to maintain the dunes in as natural condition as possible the plant does need controlling.

Not much left when the tracked machine has been through
We drove to the corner of F2 where the fence is in danger of disappearing into the sea as a large stretch of dune has been swept away in the past few months, its going to be a bit of a job with 42 posts needed to make the field secure.....
