Get down to Seaford on the South Coast and wait for it to wash ashore

I was in Brighton last year when it happened. My better half and I were leaving the Concord 2 and every 15 yards there were vans and MPV's loading up with wood.
It was so funny, Not even worth policing to be honest. The russians can take it as compensation for artificially inflating house prices around london and surrey.
( I understand it was a Russian boat, not just a random dig at our eastern friends)

Talking about beach finds....
I read on the BBC site that certain beaches regularly get large amounts of Coal washed up on them from seams at sea that are washed ashore by the tidal movement. People often go and legally collect this coal and sell it.

Going to take a long time to dry out.
£45 for a pick up (Hi Lux) of properly dried and seasoned wood (mostly ash) here for logs. He even unloads it into our garage.
It's so damn cheap that I insist on giving him a bit more each time!
