A natural history of Runswick Bay: Wildflowers, pyritic nodules and splash zone algae.
http://runswickbay.blogspot.com/2015/06/wildflowers-pyritic-nodules-and-splash.html
Guide to Runswick Fossils. Wildflowers, pyritic nodules and splash zone algae. Mud and soil washed down the cliff has made enough of a bed of soil for these flowers to grow on, about 15 feet above the beach. The run off from the thin layer of soil has enough in it to sustain the green algae that usually grow in the splash zone - the bit of the beach above the high water mark that gets spray from breaking waves.

Guide to Runswick Fossils. Went for a long beach walk. Between Port Mulgrave and Runswick Bay today. Lots of things seen and fossils found (70 or so), more of which in a post tomorrow. Pic by my lovely wife. Who is an ace photographer). I mislaid my rock hammer somewhere on the walk. It's a Forge Steel, red and black handle with a chip out of the sharp bit) if you find it, you are welcome as long as you use it well.

Guide to Runswick Fossils. It is blowing an absolute hooley here. Thanks to this low pressure system which is giving us 45 mph winds and horizontal rain.

A natural history of Runswick Bay: Laminaria: never seen this before.
http://runswickbay.blogspot.com/2015/07/laminaria-never-seen-this-before.html
Guide to Runswick Fossils. Laminaria: never seen this before. I've probably seen more Laminaria digitata. Than most people who don't look at kelp for a living. But I've never seen this:. It was a venerable kelp, mature and home to parasitic red algae and barnacles on its stipe (the stalk):. The holdfast (the roots, bit that anchored the kelp to the rock substrate) had its usual alien appearance; the white cones are barnacles over which the holdfast has grown over the 6 years of its life. Cliffe Lea bed a...

Guide to Runswick Fossils. Guide to Runswick Fossils. Coiled up things. In life they would probably have had something resembling a squid's head sticking out of the open end of the coiled up shell. If you are lucky you will find a whole ammonite loose on the beach, but often you will find it partly encased in a hard rock nodule. You'll also see crescent shaped ammonite fragments. Bullet shaped or cylindrical fragments (the rostrum) or something that looks banded (the phragmacone). Follow us on Twitter.

The Glamping Adventures of a Beautiful Awning for a Beautiful Camper Van. Getting Our Glamp On. September 24, 2014. Now that we’ve launched our glawning. For the first time in about four months we had our first weekend without a VW show but couldn’t resist heading off with our glawning – just for us this time. WARNING: If you purchase a glawning you WILL go camping more! The camping season suddenly knows no bounds. Within an hour we had set up (bunting, stove and fairy lights included) at Hooks House Farm.
