Went gathering ormers today. Absolutely knackered now.
Had 15 but they were really hard work, I think my muscles and tendons will be ssore tomorrow.
This was the second tide this month so peeps had been down yesterday. I was lucky to get what I did.
The reason it is so tiring is that the tide goes out a long way here on a spring tide.
When you get there you have to turn whacking great big stones. The ormers are underneath they live right on the edge of the low tide mark.
They are a kind of abalone.
