If you have ever wondered what a beautiful pebble on the beach is and it’s story you will find this interesting.
Tony Kearsley a local geologist has offered to lead a trip along the beach where we will look at some pebbles and hear the story of how they have travelled from Cumbria, northern England, Scotland and maybe even Norway!
Low tide is midday. We will be focusing on the top of the beach but not directly under the cliffs so hard hats are not mandatory. Please bring waterproofs and GOOD footwear as we may have to paddle across the Beck and the rocks can be slippy. It is a 300 metre walk and 50m descent to/from the car park on tarmac road – if this is a problem we can arrange for dropping nearer – contact leader.
You can bring pack up or buy food at the Youth Hostel (or both). The Youth Hostel have kindly given us use of the classroom so if it is wet we may retire there after a pebble foraging expedition.
Members and Rotunda Geology Group and guests only meeting (and their guests). Members of either group free. Guests of members are asked for £2 donation.
