I’m going back next week, for a stay on Portland Bill. That bit of beach at Kimmeridge needs to be walked away from the steps that go down. That’s where the casual visitor has a bit of a hunt. I met a lady with a huge chunk of ammonite and several small, perfectly formed ones in pyrite who had walked further round.You'd lose me forever on a site like that
I’d have used Photobucket, I have to occasionally when a file is too big, but there were too many.No, you are right, Rich ... taking forever to load. Same with the attachments
But lovely when they do arrive, eventually. Paul Nash photographed and painted Kimmeridge Bay. It was a pilgrimage I never managed to make
Can't imagine why you'd feel guilty taking fossils form that part of the coast. Once exposed the sea just chews them up, and in any case, they just keep pouring out of the cliffs
Lot of people chip away at the soft cliff so there are signs on most beaches telling people not to and not to remove fossils. I agree with you, it’s educational and very rewarding, not to mention our very heritage and history.Nice pics Rich. I do like that part of Dorset.
Taking fossils from beaches on the Jurassic coast is one of the reasons people go, surprised to hear someone feel bad about it.
Weird. I’ve read of people telling their parents such things before and research uncovering the exact events described but the child could never have known.When I was very young my parents took me to corfe castle. I told them that before I was born I had been a soldier there protecting a lady.
Think they were a bit freaked out, especially when they were told about the history of the place

We didn’t go in, it’s fenced, and there’s a £12 admittance charge. It £30 for a family, the tea rooms charged £3.20 for a half cup of coffee. A family visit with ice creams and a couple of coffees and you’re looking at £50!
Mum went to The Pig on her birthday last December, said it was amazing. Prices to match though.
Ooh, bitch.Didn't say you were going to Pisa.
