! IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES !

Common sense when collecting at all locations should be taken and knowledge of tide times should always be noted.

Two dangers are apparent along the Bexhill coastline, the first is the tidal conditions which need to be taken note of, and good time allowed to return. MANY PEOPLE EACH YEAR ARE CUT OFF BY THE TIDE.

The other important note is the danger of falling debris and cliff falls. Stay away from the foot of the cliff and if you are knocking fossils or hitting rocks, do so well away from the cliff as hammer vibrations can cause debris to fall. Hard hats should be worn.
