How to Get a Suntan

• Aim to arrive at the beach at 15.30 (too hot sooner).
• Scout a position on the beach, hoping that its far enough away from the carpark so as to deter people from sitting right next to you but close enough to the sea.
• Towels laid out in a row.
• 3 basted bodies (not really - suntan lotion applied, factors 8-30 depending on skin type).
• Front roasting 20mins.
• Turn.
• Back roasting 20mins (plus reading book).
• Cooling sea dip - wave jumping, bit of a swim.
• Suntan lotion slathering, trying (unsuccessfully) not to get sand mixed in.
• Front roasting 20mins...
