Natural Slingstones of Britain (Read 470 times)

StaffSlinger Senior Member Offline Slinging Rocks! Posts: 475 Florida	Natural Slingstones of Britain Jan 12^th, 2023 at 2:21pm HELP! Somewhere... here? Elsewhere? I have a memory of reading about "naturally occurring" round stones in Britain -- west coast? Some sort of geologic phenomena -- tectonic plates rubbing together? Can anybody point me in the right direction?

You find pebble beaches all along the south coast of England but Chesil is the best. https://images.app.goo.gl/ZN8XQU5upZARvtZi9

I did some slinging at Brighton Beach back in late August -- My partner is Brighton born and we were in the UK for a month visiting her sister and old school friends as well as attending my clan Gathering in The Borders.

Incredible. I could spend all day there.

I imagine it's a lot like here—nobody wants to hang around the rocky beaches, so you mostly have it all to yourself!
