I just posted a video of a trip I made recently to sandsend, Yorkshire. No super special finds but the scenery is stunning as usual.

Fossil Hunting Adventures in New Zealand: Summer 2016
Doctor Mud posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Its been a while since I have posted here. Sorry for the absence. Its been a crazy year. Shifting cities and jobs, with a hectic period of lab work and fieldwork for my new job. I've been living in between two cities, but things should be settling down soon! I did fieldwork for work in the Summer of 2016 in New Zealand. That's another story. 5 days in the mountains sampling alpine lakes. Boy that was hard work. If that wasn't enough - I must have had a taste for adventure as I had a series of trips to N. Canterbury in search of big old crabs and whatever else nature threw my way. I'll post some reports when I have time with pictures. I finally managed to do the trip I had been wanting to do for a while and head up the coast into coastline not often tread. I carried everything - tent, drinking water, food and collecting gear. Even though it was late summer in New Zealand, you can almost expect anything! A cold front came through and while I was out I got hit by cold weather (almost into single digits in degrees C) and heavy rain. It was surely an interesting walk on the coast after the mudstone got wet! Here's a picture that summarizes my trip. Sunscreen and sunhat - Daggy (downunder speak for not cool...) sunglasses one day, then later rain jacket and thermal balaclava......... I am still smiling under there by the way! The sunglasses are my safety glasses and I thought - hey I'm in the middle of nowhere and fossil hunting shouldn't be a fashion show.... More soon guys. Just thought I's say hi and say that I'll update everyone on what I've been up to. Sorry for the absence and if I've missed any messages. Craig .- 15 replies
