Hi Neil

Thank for posting Tidal Times
We went Detecting at Morfa Buchan bay in the summer and someone, naming no names but you know who you are >:(   ;D forgot to check the tide.
It wouldnt have been so bad but half the beach was pebble, wasted most of the day waiting to see a bit of sand  lol

Hi Alan

I normally Check the tides on the RARE website but because one of our Party lives near by all summer we sort of left it too him (bad Move lol)

You must have took all there was then lol as you know the flat bit behind the beach it used by Campers so loads of ally and ring pulls.
During the war The Royal navy used to hold ship to shore Target practice there
Des went off into the hills and i expected a load Bang and a puff of smoke lol but he was ok

It took 4 of us half the day to find a handful of lead i give all i found to a passing fisherman, i think Byron found an oar off a boat
We went to Pendine after that and cleared up  so it wasnt a total waste of time

regards Phil
