Farewell to the lifeguards

It's the end of the lifeguard season on Trevone until next spring although Harlyn will still be operational for a few more weeks. At 6.00pm on Sunday evening Sam, supervisor Craig and senior lifeguard Oli closed the door of the hut for the last time and folded up the red and yellow flags. Apart from a multitude of minor incidents and weaver fish stings, this summer there were six main incidents on Trevone where adults or children were unable to bring themselves back to shore and had to be rescued. Well done RNLI!
Most people know that there is quite a dangerous rip current at Trevone which is why we need lifeguards. If you want to know more about rip currents have a look at this fascinating little Australian film clip. It will make you watch the waves at Trevone more closely!

What a difference a week makes

A little something for all Trevone exiles in other bits of the UK who were here over the Bank Holiday... a hot, sparkly, azure-skied, turquoise sea Saturday... and hardly a soul on the beach. Envious of us, or what?

And then there was one...

Latest news from Patricia: Last photo before lift off! The 2 young flew on 6th Sept. Sadly one was found dead yesterday outside the shop, probably flew into the window and died. However it's been a very good season with 2 broods and 5 young. Hopefully this will be repeated next year.

Swallow update

Patricia Davies has now sent a new picture and says the little babies in the nest outside the Village Store are just about ready to fly. catch them quickly before they go!

Photo of the month

John Hird kindly sent this picture of a special little bridge known to everyone who has walked through the fields from Trevone to Padstow (a bit like Jane Austin's Elizabeth Bennett walking to Meryton in 'Pride and Prejudice'). The bridge has been tidied up and if you have never done the walk, it's highly recommended. Just follow the paths and get the next stile in sight each time so you know which direction you are heading in.
