Peaklander Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 What a lovely place to take it. I spent many hours on that beach years ago and Marine Drive is something else in bad weather. We are here this morning, all waiting for pictures of your finds! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve b Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Was just wondering how much plastic waste you might have come across during the day ? Any trip to the beach down here means taking a bag for plastic waste on the tide line sadly Steve  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve b Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 That is good to hear , I think we get more here because of the funnel effect of the coast line . Glad you had a nice day and that 88 looks great in limestone . Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaklander Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I saw at Bridlington last week that they clean the sand with a tractor towing a "surf rake". It's a little like a round baler with a big sieve, scooping the top layer and then letting it fall back out through the sieve. It is driven at walking pace and does a great job quite quickly which is just as well as there's a fair area of sand even above high water mark.

Cornish Rattler Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 Well we went to Southport but when we arrived the tide was coming in and was chucking it down so decided to drive to Formby where the weather was better but the beach was full of scrap, paving flags and nos canisters so decided to knock it on the head and came home, will post pic's tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Rattler Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 A pic of what i could bring back from Formby as the rest had corncrete stuck to it 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Rattler Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) I ordered a handle to fit to the lower end of my sand scoop to make it easier to remove the scoop from a hole and shake out, anyway it arrived today so I've fitted it ready for testing out on Saturday in Wales Edited July 20, 2020 by Cornish Rattler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once found a 75mm solid steel practice round in the peak district moors, on an old artillery range, should have seen my mums face as I rolled it across the kitchen floor. I remember Dad telling me about him finding the main body (box section) of a Vickers machine gun at the bottom of field at a holiday cottage they visited in the North Yorkshire moors once. Great fun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Rattler Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 Well i only found this on Barmouth beach as we found other holes that someone had dug so think we need to go earlier and have more of a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
