Before setting off for home, we popped down to Saltwick Bay. It was really nice to be able to walk out so far on the wave-cut platform...there were very few rockpools as such and not a great variety of life, but then again it's such a harsh environment as the tide comes in, that I suppose it's not surprising. Returning along the beach, under the cliffs, there were quite a few fossil bits and some nodules - not a place to linger as there was sporadic tinkling, as bits of shale fell from the cliff onto the beach.

| Three ammonite nodules and odds and ends ... |
