Hi,

Nala, you are brave to go to Cap Blanc Nez with such a weather. I once remember myself where it " rained cats and dogs " with a terrible wind. The time to return to cars, we were soaked to the skin!

Wow, cool looking cliffs! Are they the equivalent to the chalk cliffs in Dover, England? You picked up some nice Ammo's despite all the bad weather. :)

And it was nothing beside the other day in Wimereux! :) (there was the snow inside the land but a strong tempest in the coast!)

Nice finds there!

They are very much like the Cliffs at Dover, appart from the specimens found. Weather seems similar too. :P
