Mudlarking the Lowest tide I've ever seen - Storm Ciara - Mudlarking the Thames with Nicola White

Join me as I take a trip to the Thames Foreshore in London on Sunday 9th February when Storm Ciara was blowing furiously throughout the UK. The tide was already due to be a low one, but Storm Ciara sucked the water out into the sea and so the tide was even lower than usual - exposing parts of the Thames foreshore that have been covered for years. I met up with mudlarking friend Simon and we got very windswept whilst searching for pieces of history left out by the tide.

One of my favourite finds are clay pipes and there were plenty of 18th Century pipes to be found on the foreshore, as well as some other interesting bits and pieces. I finish up back at my Tideline Studio for a round up of the objects I pick up.

I was using my new Neewer tripod today and here is the link to Neewer and their excellent range of photographic and camera equipment, and more :-

Lastly, if you are tempted to try mudlarking, you do need a permit from the Port of London Authority. You can find details here:-
