Hi from geriatric newbie

Submitted by Richard on Mon, 12/03/2007 - 14:00.

Hi all. I'm retired and living Pembrokeshire. The coastal walks here have some wonderful geology. Some of the rock formations remind me of my time in Namaqualand but I never had time to follow up my curiosity.

Now I have some time I hope I can learn about rocks. I haven't explored the other forums yet. Hope I can post pictures of rocks. Will pics be accepted direct from my PC or must I use something like Photobucket?

Looking forward to meeting you all in due course.

Richard

Ah! just saw file attachments. Answered my question. Smiling face

Hi there theape. I can't say how good Pembrokeshire is geology wise, but if the weather is fine you will enjoy the visit. Lots of unspoilt coastline once you move away from the refineries around the Haven.

Hi,

to GR! (I'm better late than never with the welcome BTW )

I don't know much about the geology of Pembrokeshire I'm afraid, however, I do know you can find trilobites in the region...

Hope you enjoy the site!

Ben.

Welcome.

I know the geology of Pembrokeshire quite well, I've been going on fieldwork there for the last 25 years so any questions just ask.

Thank you Hypocentre. I have downloaded the UK-1 tutorial and started immersing myself in Earth Science. It was James Lovelock's books that provided the trigger to gain more understanding of what is happening to our planet. When the weather clears I intend to go to St.Anne's Head to photograph the wonderfully folded rocks showing on the cliff face. Hopefully by then I will be able to frame a question that won't leave everyone cringing. Smiling face
