Our aims

BHASSEXPLORE'S task is made all the harder by the relative inaccessibility and somewhat dangerously rugged and twice daily tidal challenges presented by a continuously changing and constantly eroding landscape and towering cliffs which dominate the entire region...

​

BHASSEXPLORE is, and has to be fully aware of all the dangers and difficulties this unique terrain presents...

​

BHASSEXPLORE can not emphasise enough that much care and every precaution has to be taken in any undertaking or endeavour attempted in this most natural of settings... BHASSEXPLORE can only strongly emphasise and rigorously enforce the practises that must be observed in this challenging environment,

 

TIDES AND WEATHER CONDITIONS can appear benign but at their most gentle, can present many dangers, which will be amplified many fold at times on this stretch of coast and can change abruptly catching people unawares and placing them in extreme danger...

 

BHASSEXPLORE is compelled to inform you that up to 90% of the terrain underfoot is either ankle turning uneven, fall inducing unstable, slippery and skin ripping, bone breaking, concussion producing hard core rugged or any combination of the above....injuries can and will occur at any moment on a scale from bleeding shins, right through to death...

 

BHASSEXPLORE must point out that these dangers ebb and flow with the tides as a multitude of different rock and pebble underfoot conditions become exposed....or disappear. Coupled with windy, wet or stormy weather even the most experienced adventurer and explorer will face difficulties and become imperiled by the slightest lapse in observance and concentration to the immediate and short term future conditions...

 

BHASSEXPLORE can only implore anyone entering this coastal region to wear stout, grippy footwear. PAY FULL ATTENTION TO HIGH TIDE TIMES AND RANGE AND THE WEATHER FORECASTS,  what starts out as a benign stroll on a beautiful day at lowish tide in plimsoles in a mesmerising and energizing, compelling and totally absorbing landscape so full of beauty and fascination can easily become a battle for survival against  injuries, weather and tide, cliff falls and fatigue...

 

BHASSEXPLORE can not emphasise enough all the considerations anybody entering this region should take, even on the most calm and pleasant summers day...

 

BHASSEXPLORE realises that these, and many more factors are part of the appeal to explore and learn from such an environment, an opportunity to truly leave the madness of the 21st century behind, no phone signal, no roads, no buildings, save the lighthouse, just a millions of years old landscape, exposed by coastal erosion for all to see...

​

BHASSEXPLORE also recognises that all these elements combine to make it a magnet for plastic waste of all varieties. Plastics and foams and styrenes from every boat and ship, from every stream and river, from every beach along the south coast and the English Channel ends up here, trapped and ensnared in the coves and on the rocks, deposited by super high tides and storms and trapped against the ever more frequent cliff falls, some of this manmade pollutant, one that we are all involved in to some extent or another, along with tonnes of fishing industries equipment, is up to fifty years old and slowly breaking down into smaller and smaller parts into what should be a pristine environment...
