The very inconsistent May weather cooperated with the exercise and the day passed without any showers. Although the four railway travellers did get quite damp as they walked to their respective points of departure in the early morning. 

Unfortunately it was a little overcast throughout the actual time spent on photography. Thus the sky was quite bland. However, the first and second Severn Crossings, the incoming tide, the huge skies and distant Welsh hills provided dramatic back drops for photographs of children on the beach, solitary fishermen hunched expectantly over skyward pointing rods, and huge driftwood logs stranded on the rocks and foot path. 

All in all it was a very convivial way for the Snapping stalwarts to ease themselves back into the comradeship that photography offers.
