A brief foray to Wrabness beach
Well, as promised, I ventured down to the Wrabness foreshore this morning. Low tide was just after 8am and there was a raw westerley breeze. I haven’t dug Ragworm for years so I knew this was going to be fun. I soon found a few Rag ’squirts’. This occurs as you slowly walk over the ground in which they are living. As you place your weighted boot down, if there are any worms below, they squirt water up through the surface as they burrow down deeper to escape the mighty warrior predator (me). Now, normally my hands warm up when I am digging but not today. My left hand stayed at zero the whole time. I gave up playing in the mud after I got a few King Rag and waddled off with my tail between my legs to try and get a few Lugworm. I wanted a few worms to try off the H’Penny pier tomorrow afternoon.
In the finish, I did get enough worms for a short fishing expedition tomorrow.
See pictures of the Fruits of my labour (yes, I know, UK spelling) and Wrabness beach at low tide!
If you want a ‘google map’ / ‘earth look, then search for Wrabness, Essex, England. The River is called the Stour and on this side (Essex) of the River it is pronounced to Rhyme with ‘our’ and on the silly Suffolk side it is Stour rhyming with Sewer.
Both pronunciations are correct!
Oh and yes, I do read a quality daily newspaper as you can see
