Everyone booted it across the island and pretty much arrived in the car park at once – discovering it was super high tide and a pretty good size! We all took one look at the 3 foot of white water slamming down the channel and decided it might be time for a quick cuppa at the Buddle Inn at the top of the hill down to the beach!
They were a little surprised to find all of us camped outside waiting for them to open and even more surprised to hear we were about to go windsurfing! As always they made us welcome and even trusted the boys with the task of lighting up the fire in the big stone fireplace! I won’t name and shame, but I definitely wasn’t one of the committee of ‘men’ who were having to admit to the landlady ten minutes later that they had failed to make a fire with about 10 kilos of dry wood and all the previous days papers! The tea was good though!
