208. Thorntonloch

It’s a misty, slightly drizzly morning as I enter the East Lothian region ready to work my way around the coast over two days. As it turns out, I visit just one beach before needing to abort my trip to return home. I do however get to spend an hour walking along lovely Thorntonloch, which is overlooked by the Torness Nucleus Power Station at one end. Not perhaps the most attractive beach feature, but it is largely invisible on this overcast morning as I walk along the back of the dunes and along the shore.

I return a week later to pick up my trip around the coast where I left off, but I decide to return to Thorntonloch as it’s a beautiful late afternoon and I want to see more of this fine beach. The setting sun makes the deep dunes glow and a few hardy surfers are braving the waves as I make my way top to the ‘power station’ end of the beach and back. It’s such a lovely place for a walk, and I am pleased to be back. Most of these photos are from the second visit.
