Clare goes beachcombing on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent with author Lisa Woollett.   Lisa is fascinated by what we throw away and how it reflects our changing lifestyles.  Her new book ‘Rag and Bone’ tells the story of her discoveries in beachcombing and mudlarking and how it links to her family history: her great grandfather was a scavenger and her grandfather was a dustman. 

Clare and Lisa begin their walk  (crucially, at low tide) at grid reference TQ954737.
