‘Savage Shores: Britain’s Coastal Environment’ is the title of a book currently being researched and written by Heather and Mark Rainsley for Pesda Press. The book aims to explain the climate, geology, landforms, natural history and human history of the coastal environment to walkers, sea kayakers and others enjoying this wonderful part of Britain’s natural heritage.
The two authors are experienced writers and photographers with a particular love for the coast of Britain. We intend to use this blog to keep folk updated as to our progress with the book over the next 18 months.
Right now we’re planning the work ahead.
Please watch this space for more updates! In the meantime, enjoy this picture of the Gadcliff in Dorset …
God luck with the new joint project.
Wonderful part of England down there in Dorset.
Also love your photo’s.
Cheers
Adrian.
Thanks, Adrian.

Hi Mark
Echo previous comments of support and admiration for the project. Will the book be written from the sea or the shore perspective because there are a lot of coastal path walkers and it’s a market that buys a lot of books.
Not sure how, but if I can help in any way let me know.
Best wishes – Dillon
Heather and Mark
Good luck with this venture.
Hope you have great pleasure putting the project together.

What happened to “once bitten”?
Sounds like a huge project.
Good luck to you both

You just don’t quit do ya?!
Good luck, Money/job permitting I might even come and capture a few more islands and break into the odd nature reserve next summer to help make the book pretty
Enjoy!
Tom
You have boundless energy, enthusiasm and dedication. The result is sure to be an inspiring and entertaining book!
All the best to you both,

Many thanks for all the encouraging comments. The book will be aimed at all those enjoying the coast, with special emphasis on those visiting by foot or watercraft.

What a fabulous idea, will follow progress with interest!
Tom has an extensive photo library of all things outdoors so please get in touch if we can help.
Either way, we look forward to reading the finished product

Can also help with thoughts, observations, coast path info etc if needed.
Although you probably have it all under control… Do you ever sleep? ;o)
