Using the diaries, plus data collected from Weybourne, we made maps which charted the changes in wind direction over the last 3 – 4 weeks on this part of the coast. In the morning we worked on a beautiful sandy patch of beach, racing against the incoming tide. In the afternoon we worked at the bottom of the beach road, marking out the map using pieces of chalk found on the beach and then decorating with pebbles and paint made from natural pigments from the beach.
10/10/10 We walked and talked. The current and past movement of land and weather spoke to us as we went. Part of the 350 international campaign to cut carbon emissions. see http://www.350.org/
