Seasalter to Faversham Creek - Walking workshop
12/05/2020 | 8:30 a.m.
Eastern Swale
For this workshop the plan is to walk westwards along the Swale footpath from The Sportsman pub at Seasalter towards Faversham, recording any archaeological features we see with the CITiZAN app and precision RTK kit. This is to ‘ground truth’ the Historic England commissioned Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey as only the desk-based research phase was ever completed here.
We’d love people to join us to learn or brush up on CITiZAN app skills, to learn how to use an RTK and to develop feature identification and foreshore monitoring skills. This walk is c9km in total. Whether it lasts one day or two days each time really depends on how much there is to record - this is true exploratory fieldwork as well as a walking workshop! Transport to and from the starting point will be arranged when we know how many people are joining us. Meeting place TBC but will be close to The Sportsman, Faversham Rd, Seasalter, Whitstable CT5 4BP.
Register your interest by emailing Lara on lband@mola.org.uk, Eventbrite booking will be set up in due course and we'll email you to prompt you to book. Although this event is currently planned to go ahead, MOLA/CITiZAN take the health and welfare of our staff, volunteers and the wider community very seriously. We will review the situation on 1st June and, in line with government guidance, may have to cancel this event to help safeguard against the spread of COVID-19. We'll inform you of any changes if they occur.
This is one of three walking workshops in which we intend to cover the Swale from The Sportsman at Seasalter to the western point of Conyer Creek between May and June. See our main events page for details of the other walking workshops.
