Kimmeridge rocks!

Kimmeridge is a small town on the south coast of Dorset located in an area known as The Isle Of Purbeck. The land the town sits on is some of the oldest geology in England, dating all the way back to the time of dinosaurs. Accordingly, this stretch of shoreline is also known as The Jurassic Coast and archeologists regularly find fossils of long extinct animals hidden in the rocks and cliffs. 

Kimmeridge is also home to one of the south coasts finest surf spots, Broad Bench. A fast barrelling right hander breaking over a shallow reef. There is currently a campaign active to try to maintain and even increase the limited access surfers have to this wave. The wave sits on the fringes of the Lulworth Army Firing Range and due to this proximity the wave can only be surfed when the Army say it is OK to do so.

Here is a collection of photographs showing the type of rocks that line the Kimmeridge Bay coast, with a few other pics thrown in for good measure.

Timed it just right to follow this tractor clearing the snow.

My friend and I were the 1st to arrive and were greeted by this.

The snow began to melt after the sun came out...

...causing waterfalls to flow all along the cliff...

...and other surfers to appear.
