Amber Peak and the shore line..

The first picture is the elevation profile to Amber Peak and back. The second one is the complete beach loop. Looking at the drop from Amber Peak to the beach I realize why both my knees ache today…..

T Amber Peak & back less than 5 miles

Complete beach and Red Gate loop almost 10 miles

Amber & I go around, the boys go straight UP!

They ran up the hill (at least the 1st part)
