A mysterious structure has appeared down at Freshwater West - one of our premiere and most pristine surfing spots in Wales.
The Welsh National Surfing Championships are due to be held here in May and there are some lovely set ups in this area, which forms part of the coastal marine and national park.

As a result, you can't even sneeze here normally without permission from the National Park so it makes this erection even more curious...
The sand dunes are under constant protection from erosion caused by the marram grass (the long razor sharp green plants that cut your ankles as you walk past them) being stomped on and there's no camping allowed.
The poor sod selling hot-dogs and burgers from the 'Tags burger van' was even restricted from selling hot food after some complaints from beach users, so local surfers can't even get a hot post surf snack in wintertime anymore.
The answer is £
Harry Potter is coming to town, so the fragile eco-system, sand dunes and wildlife can cope, as the local authority will get a nice fat cheque.
And now it seems that 'Robin Hood' - Ridley Scott's new film is also coming. Great for the economy but what impact will 100 horses and 600 extras have on the landscape?

It seems as if Hollywood has finally found our little sanctuary and tour buses will no doubt follow.
My only surf ever in Great Britain was @ Freshwater West. A wonderful place indeed.
