Looks a great crop. Sea Buckthorn is very, very acid, though the flavour is nice. I eat sloes raw, but sea buckthorn is a whole different prospect. Best added to jams and things.

I can eat raw sloes too, a mouthful gets a bit astringent though. Wondering if Sea Buckthorn would go well with fish? Would make a nice fishing and foraging trip at this time of year.

We tried some of the berries, very sharp, but not unpleasant..

I had some sea buckthorn ice cream once. Was lovely.

Very reminiscent of the dunes at Merthyr Mawr where the moot is held. Lovely pics, looks like you had a great time.

At low tide you can walk out to a WW II mini sub. If you are still in the area its wort a trip to North Berwick (my hametoon) Sea Bird centre.

Agree with Fliterhoose, camped out on Aberlady good few years ago and walked out to xt craft mini sub, (differant type than that used to try and sink the Tirpitz i think)well whats left of it was used as target practice by Beaufighters i think, been to North Berwick sea bird centre many time with the kids.

Didnt know about the sub... Shall have to try that sometime..
