evening bimble by the cliff

[TJRoots]

i got bored at 19:30, so i grabbed my day bag went out. ended up walking down to the beach, tide was out so i went down to the cliffs. was having a really nice time, but it started getting dark and out on the rocks is not somewhere you wanna be when its dark, so at the next gap i headed up the cliff and walked home along the clifftop, was very tempted to stay out all night, but it was cold and i had no sleeping gear (yeah i know a bushcrafter needs no gear, but it was really windy along there and i had no light to make a shelter by).

here is the piccys:

my arrival at the beach

down closer to the shore:

strolling along the cliff:

yummy fresh water pouring out of the cliff face:

beats tap water hands down!

found a lobster/crab cage that had washed up:

lots of iron pyrites(sp?):

the biggest chunk i have ever seen! my size ten boot for scale:

anyone have any idea what this is?

2litre bottle for scale:

couple of pics looking down from the cliff top:

its getting dark!

my way out:

warning! pic heavy

i apologise for shoddy pic quality, as you can tell by the water coming out of the cliff, i am capable of some good shots, i am blaming the wind for the bad quality in all the others! it was b;lowing me around while i was trying to stay still to take the shot!

enjoy!

nice one mate, must venture East one day and have a poke around there instead of the normal shingle stuff where i am.

Great pics mate. That cylinder may have been a mine!

 

[Kepis]

I wonder if that cylinder was a an old Navy mooring buoy, something like this

 

[TJRoots]

could have been a buoy, but with that amount of steel i doubt it would have floated even if you'd filled it with hydrogen.

yeah do come down, its great along here, we have a very diverse coast with lots of wild edibles. give me a shout if you ever come down eastbourne way, i can show you where all the best bits are.

Cool. Those first few pics look like excellent Bass territory to me.
