This one isn't really a tramping trip but it is a numbered trip so qualifies for a trip report. Traditionally a club picnic was on the day after the OTMC marathon and was a good way for those involved to relax and recuperate. In recovery mode from walking the Silver Peaks half marathon yesterday, I was looking forward to a day in the sun at the beach. The walk along the beach was relaxing and we stopped for a brief look at the rock climbers before making our way to the end of the beach near the caves. There was a sea lion who had taken up residence in the shade so we kept our distance and set up chairs and picnic blankets near the dunes.
The weather was perfect for the beach with sunshine and no wind so the 14 of us were able to sit and happily chat before some of the group headed into the water for a swim while others enjoyed a paddle or explored the caves.
We watched the antics of another sea lion further down the beach lounging in the shallows before making it's way into the deeper waves. Around mid afternoon people started packing up their picnic and headed back to the cars which left only a few of us to enjoy one last swim/paddle before walking back along the almost deserted beach.
