Fossil Hunting at the Kilve Coast

Decided to take a walk along the north Somerset coast to get some fresh air and walk off some of the excesses of the weekend. It was really windy and cold, but not raining as forecast. What happened to summer!?


The cliffs are amazing here and although dreadful in terms of rock climbing, provide some fascinating geological sights, with all sorts of layers of rock types.


We spent some time hunting for fossils as we walked. This was our best find, but we decided that it was a bit too big to take away!


And on the back of yesterday's skittling excitement, we made our own 'beach' version.


After leaving the beach, we made an attempt to start driving north, but it soon became clear that we were both way too tired to be driving. We broke out the 'Mason Reseach Machine' and soon had ourselves checked into a reduced rate nearby luxury spa hotel! Result! Sleep, sauna, steam room and further sleep soon follwed as well as a (light) meal in the bar, overlooking the countryside. Sunday night was clearly a good time to be staying the Hotel, as we were practically the only guests!
