Backlash (Explore 18/11/23 #88)

            Portreath, Cornwall

My first ever encounter with a coastal storm. Not the biggest by a long chalk, but powerful enough to make tripod work difficult, hence most images taken from the side of the car to minimise the buffeting of the 45mph winds.

The little white turret on the harbour wall is known as the “Monkey House” or “Monkey Hut” and dates back to the days when Portreath was a busy port, shipping copper out and coal in. Whilst the harbour was important the entrance was still treacherous. The Monkey House (although not known as that in those days) was used for shelter by the harbour pilots who would wave flags or lanterns to guide ships into harbour, or warn away if conditions were too dangerous.
