Wednesday 3rd October 2001 – 8.27am
Low tide with the wind moving in fast from out of the west: the few cyclists out are speeding across the bridge, pushed along and accelerating into the wake of the wind, but they will struggle when they return home tonight. A large rainstorm has just passed, leaving wetness and puddles everywhere, but out to sea blue sky is showing and like a set of blinds the cloud cover is being pushed sharply away.
