Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Chesil Beach There is virtually none of this square on dry land, only a few square metres at the lowest tides. The blue stick marks the position of the grid line intersection at SY6500077000 as determined by GPS. The view is towards the SE and the Isle of Portland which can be seen in the distance. The photo was taken at the lowest point of the tide at 13.30 on 22 August 2009. This day was chosen as it was the lowest tide in the current tidal cycle and the photographer had to wait for the tide to go out, and even then the land within the square was only revealed when each wave receded. It was covered up again by each wave as can be seen by the other photo of the square. The photographer got very wet even though he had stripped down to his boxer shorts. This was a low tide but not the lowest tide of the year and a few more inches may be revealed at extra low spring tides. Only the land in the foreground is in SY6476 , the land beyond the blue stick being in SY6576
The photographers position was recorded as SY6499876999 by GPS (photo available). No photo of the wet boxer shorts is available. |
