Sunday 23 June 2013: East Wittering, Bracklesham Bay, West Sussex

For marine molluscs, land snails and Eocene fossils.  In the morning when the tide is in we will walk westwards along the promenade in the direction of West Wittering dunes, investigating land snails and the top strand line.  We will meet again, after lunch, at 2pm at the original car park meeting point to look for marine molluscs, including shells of Pandora albida, and walking eastwards for fossil molluscs such as Venericor (large false cockle).  Low water will be at about 17:00 (+0.6m).

 

Meet at 11.00am at the car park at the end of Bracklesham Lane (continuation of B2198 going to the shore) SZ804963. It is not a particularly large car park so the leader will investigate other parking options to be posted on the website nearer the date or from the leader by telephone.
