MY WALKS AND TALKS
Fossil hunting at Bracklesham and more!
About me
My walks and talks
What's on in West Sussex
Time permitting, I am usually willing to give a talk or lead a walk on any aspect of local geology. Each year, I maintain a rolling series of events as listed in my Current programme. This currently runs at about 20 to 25 events per year, so early booking is desirable for me to fit it around family and work commitments. I am happy to discuss expenses.
My local walks and field trips currently include:
- Geology and/or fossil hunts at Bracklesham (on the beach). The first public fossil hunt was for Chichester District Museum in 1985 and these have been running ever since, usually twice annually due to demand.
- Geology of Bognor Regis (on the beach)
- Geology of Chichester Harbour
- The South Downs - geology and landscape formation
- West Sussex coastal plain - geology and landscape
- Geological highlights of West Sussex - our Sites of Special Scientific Interest
- Geology and building stones of West Sussex churches
- Geology and building stones of Chichester
Please see Current Programme for my list of events.
I am on the Geologists’ Association list of speakers for the following subjects, but I will give anything a go (and have done, within reason):
- Mud, sand & fossils – the Palaeogene geology of West Sussex
- On the Rocks – the London Clay of Bognor Regis
- Sharks & shells – the geology & fossils of Bracklesham Bay
- Geology and landscape of the South Downs & West Sussex coastal plain
- Church rocks – the building stones of West Sussex churches
- Lavant stone - a medieval building stone detective story
