Dipping in a sea pool
It is Day Two of the Dip a Day Challenge. The challenge is to raise awareness for the work of Surfers Against Sewage (SOS) in our seas and coastal waters. I headed down to the beach. But the tide was so far out across the sands that I decided to have a swim in the…

There’s always a way through
The beach today The beach is different every day as the tide rearranges the pebbles, creates new rock pools and streams. Today my way was blocked by a new rockpool.

What will our legacy be?
The beach today To spot a shell half buried in the sand, or glistening from the hightide line of tangled seaweed and driftwood, is a special moment – what treasure is being revealed?
