A lovely evening exploring the Mulberry harbour and surrounding area with another cracking group. Loved it. We will be doing it again on the 26th June.

This should be something special if people really get behind it 😁

SOUTHEND PIER TO BE TRANSFORMED INTO GIANT 1.33-MILE POPPY DISPLAY FOR REMEMBRANCE

It’s time to get knitting and crocheting! For Remembrance later in 2025, an ambitious plan has been announced to cover the length of Southend Pier in poppies, and people are being asked to knit and crochet loads of them. The display will be in place from 5th November until 16th November.

Patterns and drop-off instructions can be found at southendpier.co.uk/poppies - they are accepting completed poppies by post as well, so you can take part from anywhere in the world!

Nice little event on near Southend this Sunday. Might keep the kids (big & little) amused for a couple of hours 😁

Reminder next Wed we have our first walk of the year out to the Mulberry harbour with spaces available. Four spaces currently available for Broomway to Foulness Island on 8th June.

Another fun day today with a new group of adventurerous walkers. We found a soft male shore crab sitting behind the shell he had just shed, and the Oystercatcher has laid its first egg in the same place as last year. I just hope this year she’s more successful hatching her chicks.

Beautiful on the Broomway today once the sun burnt through the light cloud. We had some fun in the mud and I loved it.

Three spaces have come available for this Sundays (18th May at 9am) Broomway walk. 7 miles, 4hrs and the weather looks like it’s going to be really good.

If anyone fancies joining us, book on www.thamesestuaryman.co.uk please.

A good reminder this week of why we need to be vigilant and careful when we are walking below the tide line. We must avoid the MOD beaches that have warning signs.

Now the days are getting longer we start our Mulberry harbour evening walks. One of my favourite most peaceful places on the estuary. Caution is needed here because the tide comes in from the direction you’d least expect !
These are approx 2 hours and a chance to take some lovely photos especially if we are lucky to get a great sunset.
Dates planned are Wednesday 28th May, Thurs 26th June and Frid 22nd Aug.

As always book on our website www.thamesestuaryman.co.uk

I love postbox toppers and some of the very best ones are displayed at the end of Southend pier 😁

We certainly got the best of the weather this morning on the Broomway. Another lovely group enjoying near perfect conditions. Thanks for coming everyone, especially those who had travelled some distance.

We had a great early morning walk today with some lovely people. The weather was perfect and the tide behaved and went out as predicted. We found a good selection of wildlife, five species of crab, two types of eel, starfish, britttlestars, blennys, lots of flounders and a very big cherrystone clam 😁😁
