    Sidmouth Beach kayakers

    Sidmouth is quite genteel through the week, it livens up a bit towards the weekend. I was recording the sound of the sea on the shingle beach when these kayakers were finishing up. They dragged their kayaks across the beach to get a break to go to get a bite to eat.

    Kayakers training on the sea, apparently transferring between boats!

    A little further to the west the cliffs rise steeply. A path leads round to Chit rocks and to the dog beach and steps to the Jacob’s Ladder cafe.

    These steps were a good setting for the sound of the sea close up

    Shingle Street – Sound of the sea

    The sound of the sea from a much closer perspective than the picture, only about a metre from the sea.

  • Bawdsey Quay

    The sounds of summer at Bawdsey in the school holidays – a motorboat starts up and moves off, and then the passenger ferry arrives from Felixstowe Ferry

    A couple of jetskis in the distance and lots of people enjoying the summer sun. Recorded for the short-lived British Library Sounds of our Shores project.

  • Sounds of our Shores – summer 2015

    Great project from the British Library to make a coastal soundmap. I took the opportunity to get under Clacton pier to record this
