We had our first ever pebbles walk on Saturday. Of course it had to rain just as we got to the top of the bank but this did not deter us. People learned of the origin of the pebbles, the different types of pebbles, the nature and origin of flint, the grading of the pebbles, how the pebble bank formed and its significance to those of us who live here. Despite the weather we had very positive comments and will certainly repeat the walk next yaer.

On Thursday 19th June we had a visit by year 2 from the Prince of Wales School, Dorchester. This was our first visit by such young pupils and included one with mobility problems. I admire their teacher who had everything organised with military precision! We went out beachcombing and learned a bit about how the beach got here, about the different things that live on and around the beach then it was lunchtime. After dinner we moved lock stock and barrel to Camp road for a trudge over the fields to Pirate's Cove where the youngsters looked for fossils. We managed to get the all terrain buggy to the top of the bank and onto the shore in Pirate's Cove thanks to the ladies doing all the pushing! No one went home empty handed and all had a good time. We certainly enjoyed having them and hope they come again next year.
