coastal wander (pic heavy)

[Peter_t]

today i was in Eastbourne and it wasn’t long before i was getting bored of the airbourne air show so i decided to go for a wander to see what i could find

sea kale

anybody know this plant with the beans?

rock samphire

i found this real gem, water pouring out the cliff like a tap! it tasted really fresh and not at all salty. i had a bit of a survivorman moment, taking my fill and thinking how grateful you would feel to find something like this if you where stranded (im guessing it was ok to drink, well i felt ok afterwards)

sea beat

close up

there is allot of iron pyrites about

i was surprised to find black berries growing so close to the shore, yum yum

rock samphire anyone?

the lighthouse at beachy head in the distance

i went up above the cliffs at cow gap because the tide was getting pretty high. i walked past this bush then thought 'wait a sec, that looks a bit like apple!'

i was right i ate one and it tasted just like a cox, i guess cores where thrown aside by picnickers many moons ago.

the trek back to Eastbourne

the red arrows came and said hello

rose hips but too early

yet another apple

sloes and blackberries

damsons

they seems to be an odd shape

other damsons or maby bullaces. these tasted a bit sour yet sweeter than the others

this fig tree caught my eye as i walked back into town

not a bad day

thanks for looking

Talk about food for free. Thanks for sharing.

I think your unidentified plant with the seedpods is a form of rape. Not a definative answer though. Can somebody else confirm or deny.
