east lothian beaches explored ... again :) i can now confirm that i have been to every single beach in east lothian :) i've seen them all, walked them all and i do have my favourites (may write separate 'summary' post with characteristics, directions etc)
this one was a 'special find', not exactly what i expected, bceause i got lost between car park and the beach itself and emerged from the woods right opposite belhaven bay, right next to river tyne. althou i didnt plan this route, i really enjoyed it
but let's start from the beginning :)
to get here follow A1 to dunbar, then A198, pass tyninghame and turn into limetree walk. there is a car park at the end of the road, charge £2/day, no facilities thou (no toilet)
from the car park follow dirt track into the woods. no signposts to direct ppl to the beach so i just followed the track straight ahead and that's how i ended up on a rocky beach. i checked the map then and discovered that i was just 'around the corner' from where i wanted to be so i slowly walked towards the end of woods and the great beach itself. in the meantime i found another interesting spot with beautiful quirky rocks, much to my joy :) i love geology and already have a collection of photos of unique rocks and formations of east lothian (lots of rock at home too lol)

no to plaze regionu east lothian zostaly juz przeze mnie 'odkryte' wszystkie :) przeszlam sie po wszystkich, mam swoje ulubienice i chetnie sie podziele informacjami, moze w sumie napisze jakis 'zbiorczy' post o plazach east lothian...
ta okazala sie wyjatkowa, niezupelnie taka jak sie spodziewalam, bo zgubilam sie w lesie i wyszlam w nieco innym miejscu niz chcialam, naprzeciwko belhaven bay i rzeki tyne, ale zadna strata, w sumie calkiem mi sie podobalo :)
no ale od poczatku :)
aby dostac sie do peffer sands & ravensburgh beach nalezy jechac A1 as do dunbar, potem A198, minac tyninghame i skrecic w limetree walk. na koncu drogi jest parking, oplata £2 za caly dzien, nie ma toalet :(
z parkingu sciezka prowadzi w las i jest tu wiele sciezek, ale ja szlam wciaz prosto przed siebie i tak trafilam na tyne sands i skaly, piekne skaly.
dopiero kiedy juz wyszlam z lasu sprawdzilam mape i okazalo sie ze jestem 'tuz za rogiem' od wielkiej plazy (ravensheugh) wiec niespiesznie poszlam w jej kierunku. po drodze, ku mojej radosci i zainteresowaniu, trafilam na piekne skaly. bardzo lubie geologie i mam juz niezla kolekcje zdjec skal z east lothian (oraz jakies kamloty w domu tez hehe)

tyne sands, tyne mouth
east lothian has very interesting geological past, hard to believe that this area had incredibly high volcanic activity in the past :)
east lothian jest bardzo bogaty geologicznie, trudno uwierzyc ze byl to obszar bardzo aktywny wulkanicznie
oh, frozen peebles! / kurcze, zmarzniete kamlotki
st baldreds cradle
i believe these are formed of volcanic ash... / zdaje sie ze te goreczki to pyl wulkaniczny
