Public Group Guided Fossil Hunting Walks with Chris Pamplin

Holiday Guided walks

Join local expert geologist and fossil hunter Chris Pamplin for a 2 hour fossil hunting walk and talk at Charmouth.

Book your places now.

 

WET WEATHER

All walks will go ahead so long as you turn up, what ever the weather! Fossil hunting can be very rewarding if the weathers bad. So grab those waterproofs and come on down the beach this summer. Support your local tourism economy.

Meeting Place 2013 for 2 hour guided walks listed above

Tickets will be on sale from me, on the day, near the Old Coast Guard Lookout. I usually start selling tickets about 1 hour before start time. If you have pre booked tickets you must collect them no later than 1/2 hour before start time.

This is easy to find, simply go to the sea front at Charmouth (DT6 6LL) and find the flag pole ( It seldom has a flag on it) turn right as you look at the sea and proceed up the slope, past the Gents Toilets to the Coast Guard Lookout. You are asked to gather by the Mill Stone Seat which is central to the grass area about 5 mins before the talk. You can also access the meeting point from the private field car park without going down to the flag pole.

Late arrivals can join the talk and pay for the tickets after the talk has finished. The talk lasts about 30 mins.

Suitable for all ages, children (Under 16) must be accompanied by an adult.

Clothing: We get sunshine and rain during most months, so make sure you have clothing for the weather on the day. Waterproofs, wellies or walking boots for wet weather or shorts and beach shoes, sandals or crocks for the hot weather. In wet Winter weather full waterproofs with wellies are the best!

Participation in a Fossilwalks.com walk is entirely at your own risk. It is however a very safe activity so long as you take notice of all safety warnings given on the day. See Safety Code

You are paying for my 16 years experience and guidance in finding fossils, There is a high probability that you will find fossils on my tours, however I can not guarantee you will find a fossil. Beach conditions vary each day and so does the collecting potential of the beach.

Beach closures

In 16 years of working at Charmouth Beach I have known the beach to be closed on only one occasion, this was in response to the fatal accident at Burton Bradstock some 10 miles down the coast in July 2012. In the event of a beach closure I will endeavor to contact you all to let you know if you have pre booked tickets. However this can only happen if I am told. Beach closures are beyond my control.

Walks are conducted with permission of Charmouth Parish Council and follow their Code of Practice
