Well, if it was me, and the sand looked good and fine I'd go get some, mix it with some bentonite and cast someting small to see how it worked. Why not? |

There's probably some bylaw about taking sand from the beach, I will have to be discrete. I haven't done a firing, can't find any charcoal!!!!! Glad you're feeling better Dave, see you next weekend. Norman |

Usually from high tide mark down to the sea is common land, and from high tide mark up to first property boundary, field etc belongs to the Crown. You could always reverse the WWii POW trick where they lost sand from bags down their trousers - just don't release the knot :) |

Can't imagine anyone would have a hard time with that. Now if you brought a wheelbarrow and started carting loads to a pickup truck, I imagine there might be some nitpickers aroused. Who was it -- someone here, I think, was bringing out sand from a beach in their shoes. Must have taken a lot of trips to the car. |

Safest way is a tipper truck with rotating yellow flashing beacon, and wear high viz jacket with 'EU Beach Sampling Team' on the back. Take as much as you want and I'm willing to bet NOBODY would challenge you ! :clap: |
