I've previously blogged on and on about Ormering but today, we'll have another low-tide opportunity to potter around the tide pools and visit critters in their rocky homes. So the Channel Islands is the only part of the UK where you can find abalone in reasonable quantities. Our native species is the green ormer, Haliotis tuberculata, and is rather prized here. With a sea temperature of 10 degrees, gale force winds and horizontal rain, why do I do it? It’s very simple; tradition, fun and good exercise!
