On an overcast and breezy day we set out with the intent of exploring the Solent coast all the way from Calshot Spit along to Lepe Beach - this turned out to be impossible (for reasons explained below) - so instead, we took a stroll toward Fawley.

A beautifully sunny Sunday afternoon, so we decided to do a little coastal foraging and beachcombing from Hill Head along to Meon Shore.
This is the fourth in a series of articles, exploring the Solent shoreline and immediately adjacent lands.

September 2009: Owing to the conspiracy of a number of different factors in my life and circumstances, I'm ashamed to say that the Snow Pea languished in my garage not only for the winter of 2007, but for the whole year of 2008 and most of the summer of 2009.
