| | | Favouite rockpooling site?
I have had a look through some of the threads on meets and wondered if there is a list of upcoming meets in 2008?
I was also interested in sites people have suggested for rockpooling - has there ever been a rockpooling meet? Wembury in Devon seems well favoured. I don't think you can beat the little stretch of rocky beach below the outdoor swimming pool at Penzance. Wonderful place where I found my first Montagu's Blenny.

This sounds a great idea. Don't think we've had a rock-pooling meet. Providing it's reachable, we'd be up for it.

Good idea 
I have only ever rockpooled in Scarborough, excluding any childhood non-serious trips to the beach. I can't wait until the summer really, so I can travel to other coasts

I absolutely love rockpooling although how I manage to stay upright is beyond me. Those rocks can be deadly slippy .

Trust me, I've slipped more times than I can remember in the past few months. From a distance it probably looks like I'm dancing when I try to stay upright

Last time I slipped I hurt my knee quite a lot and managed to break my favorite net in half. It was worth it though, I saw my first sea-lemon that day. |

You sound like a 9 year old boy! "And then I went home and had fish fingers and waffles, and my daddy bought me a brand new net"   |

They are so characterful You're right about the time passing too! On a nice day you can spend hours gazing into rockpools
