Moody skies shortly after dawn at Medmerry. The sun soon broke through though and even the skylarks were singing! #dawnwalk #sunrise #clouds #moodylight #cloudscape #cloudscapes #medmerry #medmerryreserve #rspbreserve

This afternoon I had a wild walk along the beach between Bracklesham and Selsey, where the coastal defences have been abandoned and the sea allowed inland to form new mudflats and marshes. The old groynes are gradually being smashed by storms, and what remains is a series of atmospheric sea sculptures. As a result, I have nicknamed this stretch the 'skeleton coast' and have wanted to try and capture its wild, abandoned feel for ages. Today, with silver sunlight on a steely grey sea and powerful surf pounding the shingle, conditions were ideal 😃 #coastalwalks #ukcoast #sussexcoast #beachwalks #wildcoast #wildbeach #rspbmedmerry #medmerry #managedretreat #seadefences #stormybeach #coastalerosion #brackleshambaybeach #bracklesham #seasculptures #coastalrealighnment #rspbmedmerryreserve #rspbmedmerry #naturereserve

One of my favourite bits of footpath around West Wittering, a tunnel through the trees. It was particularly lovely this morning with the slanting autumn sunlight. #autumnwalks #westwittering #localwalks #footpaths #ukfootpaths #walkswithmydog #autumnsunlight

Dewy cobwebs at dawn. I was meant to be out on a run but got distracted! #dawn #dawnwalk #rspbmedmerry #rspbreserve #cobwebs #autumnsunrise

Enjoying some contemplative beach time with my terrier 😊 #jackrussel #walkswithmydog #beachwalk #jackrussellterrier #eastwitteringbeach

Evening walk along West Wittering beach, making the most of these dwindling days. There's been a strange, warm wind from the south and the roar of the sea carries far inland. The air is hazy with salt spray. Sanderling and gulls scatter along the tide-line, a girl in a black dress turns cartwheels in the surf and a dog runs in circles barking at a kite. This summer felt like it might never end, but now it finally has. New adventures are waiting but the leaving will still be hard. #westwittering #westwitteringbeach #witterings #beachwalk #beachsunset #westsussexbeaches #shorewalk

I love a good bit of coastal geology, takes me back to the field trips of my Uni days as a geography student. #durdledoor #dorsetcoast #coastalwalks #swanage #dorsetcoast #jurassiccoast

Oscar wanted his picture taken with Durdle Door, so I had to oblige him 😉 #dorset #dorsetwalks #dorsetcoast #durdledoor #coastalgeology #rockarch #jackrussel #ukcoast#jackrussellterrier

St Oswald's Bay looking east towards Lulworth, Dorset. Strong winds and glowering skies added drama to our sightseeing along the spectacular Jurassic Coast today. #dorsetwalks #jurassiccoast #dorsetcoast #coastalwalks #ukcoast #ukcoastline #ukcoastwalk

Sunset over the wild sun-browned grasslands of St Aldhelm's Head. It's a fine day indeed when you get to see a lovely sunrise in #westwittering and sunset in #dorset 😊 #dorsetcoast #dorsetwalks #sunsetwalk #staldhelmshead

Sunrise Walk 2: Summer really is over but looking forward to the clear autumn light and deep colours. #witterings #dawnwalk #dawn #sunrisewalk #westwittering #autumnwalks #morningwalks

Sunrise Walk 1: Low mist and woodsmoke over the wheat fields. #witterings #sunrise #sunrisewalk #morningwalks #westwittering #dawnwalk #dawn

An afternoon enjoying the old countryside around Pagham Harbour. Big thickets of bramble, spreading oaks and gnarly hawthorns heavy with red berries. #countryside #countrywalks #paghamharbour #sussexwalks #sussex #sussexlandscape #westsussexwalks

Oscar guarding the door to our nomads abode. #jackrussel #vanlife #vanliving #veganvanlife #jackrussels #vanlifers

Great first outing for my Six Moons Designs Lunar Solo...now that I've mastered the set up! Lots of room for me on the NeoAir plus gear. #sixmoonsdesigns #lunarsolo #solotent #wildcamp #wildcampinguk #coastalcamping

Dawn in the coastal dunes after a local wild camp. Calls of curlew and swish of the tide all night. The Hubba was designated the 'mans tent' (both human and canine!) while I enjoyed the Lunar Solo. #wildcamp #wildcampinguk #msrhubbahubba #smdlunarsolo #sixmoonsdesigns
