Every year Ronald Tail (third from left) conducts seashore nature trails, taking holidaymakers on walks along the beach at Appledore and telling them about some of the numerous creatures that live in the pools, on the rocks and in the sand and mud. The walks are very popular with people of all ages and after each one a collection is taken for the RNLI; last year £120 was raised for the lifeboats in this way. photograph by courtesy of Crew Member Richard Miller.
