Wind in Alnmouth

We decided to try to escape the windy weather by taking a drive down to Northumberland.  When we stopped for lunch it was slightly sunny and fairly mild, but then the weather started to turn.  By the time we got to Alnmouth it was quite wild and was just starting to rain.  I tried to capture the wind blowing the sand, but it was quite difficult to get the right setting especially as the wind would let up just as I was ready to take the shot.  The rain was steadily getting heavier and I finally had to give up to protect my camera.  This was the best I was able to get.
