What to bring

Please bring suitable clothing for the weather, see Live webcam Lyme Regis for the weather today at Charmouth and Lyme Regis.
Bring water if very hot and sun tan cream.
Walks take place on the beach with boulders and pebbles so stout footwear is advisable. Wellies are the best all weather option.

Do I need a hammer?

The hammer is an essential tool when fossil hunting, but remember,
'Your best tool is your Eyes!' Do not use your hammer to dig in the cliffs.
Hammers are for breaking stones which may contain fossils, which you find loose on the beach.

Only brick or geology hammers, no chisels or screwdrivers.

You can telephone 0845 094 3757 to check if the walk is taking place. As yet I have never cancelled a public walk,
unless I am ill I will always come to the beach for the walks. If I am ill I will post this info on the events page.
