A question......(non kayak)

[martin]

I have a wood burner, I use a fair bit of wood this time of year. So I'm always on the look out for logs and carry my chainsaw about in the car in case I come across something......
At the beach earlier I saw some serious timber, fallen trees, or parts of them that had washed up possibly from the storms......
Question is ; are there any legal implications to cutting them up and taking them away in the car, or am I just tidying the beach.....?

i dont really know the legalitys of it but i would have thought you were just tidying the beach up being a good citizen

Someone has to clean the beach.
If these wash back out to sea they could cause serious problems for any craft.
I think you would be doing a favour and benefitting as well.

As far as I am aware it is classed as beach combing which is perfectly legal. I think the same applies to anything washed up on the beach.

Good so far....
And is a chainsaw ok in public, like it's not an offensive weapon.....?

You can take drift wood also wood that has been washed up but
You cannot take stones or rocks hope this helps
