A Trip to the South Coast, Highcliffe, Dorset - 20th September 2019

We're away for the sixth weekend on the trot - this time to Uncle Neil's wedding in Bransgore. We're staying for a couple of nights at the nearby-ish Premier Inn in Highcliffe - one of our more regular hunts - and have a bit of time to walk down to the beach for a mess about looking for fossils in the clay slumps along the shore.
