Watch group - Beach Discoveries

At our April meeting last weekend we found out more about the geology of the beach and cliffs at Thurstaston. Matt explained how a glacier 1km thick had covered this area and when it melted the material it had picked up on its journey south was left behind.



Some of these pebbles had come from Scotland and some from the Lake District.



As the wind blew down the beach we hunted for different coloured granite pebbles.



Daniel's granite pebbles...


... and other discoveries by Luke and Christian.
