Not having been out "tecting" for some time, I was getting withdrawal symptoms.
So I was up early last Sunday morning and down to the beach. This is Shoebury, which is part of Southend-on-Sea.
It?s about 6 miles from where I live, and is on the north bank of the Thames Estuary. There is quite a rise and fall on the tides, and being flat it goes out a long way. At low tide you can walk out around a quarter of a mile, and it?s still mostly a firm shingle base.
I was there at just before 8am on the Sunday, the weather was lovely, and the water was like a mill pond. The fact that I only found £1.22p is neither here nor there. It was just nice being out.
Might just do it again this weekend., when the tide should be lower.
