10th September




It is a warm but overcast day (glowering but with glimmers!) and there is a fresh breeze: good t-shirt weather for walking and collecting on the beach... A lovely low tide too as the equinox and the harvest moon draw near - there is still an hour or two to go but already there are huge expanses of sand.

There have been fresh cliff falls at the end of the gabions. Posts meanwhile are appearing in the shingle towards the Ness (something to do with monitoring beach levels for Sizewell perhaps?)

I find an unusually small amount of plastics  but a large quantities of small rope pieces and net...
Strangely, I find piece of artificial flower identical to the one I collected last week. And, as always, the ubiquitous sanitary waste.

high tide: 09.30 hrs, 2.9m ; low tide 16.49 hrs, 0.4m  (estimates)
time of arrival: 14.07 hrs
weather: overcast, wind SW 18mph, temperature 18c
marine litter: significant quantities of rope and line otherwise just bits and pieces.

still the wedding season then...
