Re: Tomorrow last chance for rain this month

no need to shout, (are) there use to be signs no dogs allowed on (beach area which are mainly stones) now signs are missing, I think the dogs could be walked where the rough road bit is, but the majority of owners do bag it.

Re: Tomorrow last chance for rain this month

Yes we noticed that, Monday gone, the growing spuds were very black from the top downwards due to the cold, this was at mandria beach, the field, driving from the closed beach bar, (4.50 a pint Carlsberg) no thanks along the rough road from the beach. Be cautious a lot of dog sh*** about on beach.
