WEST BEACH, SELSEY, 11 October 2007 (LOW TIDE 0.8m AT 1805 BST)

Weather conditions good. Sunny with a light north westerly wind. Atmospheric pressure 1028 and falling.

The low tide did not get past the old flag post base. It has been 2 months since I last visited this site. There has been no significant change and if anything, it has deteriorated slightly. There was very little of the normal exposure visible. (See picture 1).

Only 2 finds today (See picture 2) at the top of the beach between the sluice gate and the groyne to the east. Most of the shell / gravel debris appears to have been dragged down from the shingle at the top of the beach.

In my opinion this site is not worth visiting at the moment.
