A GEO-DIVERSITY walk on Berwickshire’s wild side is to be staged later this month.
Led by local expert Dr Ian Kille, Northumbrian Earth is running the walk at Pease Bay and Cove on Thursday, June 27, starting at 2pm and finishing at about 5pm.
This walk provides the first of this year’s opportunities to explore the beautiful county’s coastline.
The walk from Pease Bay to Cove Harbour follows the transition from late Devonian red sandstones to the more muted colours of the early Carboniferous period.
Within these rocks the evidence can be found for a major change in global climate which makes for a fascinating range of varied and sometimes epic sedimentary rocks.
It also happens to be a great walk including two contrasting locations, the open expanse of the beach of Pease Bay and the enclosed and hidden beauty of Cove Harbour.
The walk will be approximately 5km long and will involve some scrambling across rocks on the foreshore.
Strong boots are recommended and some may find walking poles helpful. Booking is essential for all walks. For more information go to www.northumbrianearth.co.uk/
