Filey Bay and Brigg - Expert Geology Walk

What: Join Dr Liam Herringshaw on the beach by the Filey Boat Club and walk towards the Brigg, stopping to hunt for glacial erratics on the beach, and admire the cliffs of till (and other Ice Age deposits), before heading onto the Brigg and working our way along, looking for tropical Jurassic lobster burrows and glacial limestone pavements, among other things, finally spending an hour or so nosing around on the Brigg for fossils in among the rock pools and storm-tossed boulders.

This event is suitable for over 14s . We do suggest wellies or stout footwear and a bag or bucket to put your finds in. Well behaved dogs are welcome.
