A great walk on the beach yesterday with the tide nearly in, and the sun beating down . The temperature on top of the cliffs was really cold, but below on the beach out of the raw northerly wind I was shedding layers. The waterfall at Cwm Mawr was flowing well after the rain at the weekend had saturated the ground. I'm running out of obvious titles, but I spotted Pinnochio's furniture by Frank Zappa, perfect.
The cliffs at Hunstanton, Norfolk are famous for their colour bands.
The lowest dark brown layer was laid down in warm shallow seas 70 million years ago. It is 'carstone' made of sand and iron compounds. Local builders use it. The younger much thinner 'red rock' layer above it is chalk coloured with iron pigments. Above that is a thick layer of white chalk.
All contain fossils but frequent rock falls make it dangerous to be too close.
Hopefully will be able to visit these shores again very soon. It is the month that the camp site opens up
