Scientific paper

No one who suffers from scientific curiosity should miss seeing a tidal bore at least once in his life. The locality and conditions under which the Severn Bore can be seen make it an ideal object for a pleasurable excursion. The time to be selected is about twenty-four hours after new or full moon; the largest spring tides should be chosen, if possible, and an occasion when the light permits both evening and morning bore to be seen. They occur at about 7.30 to 9 o'clock, a.m. and p.m. The visits should therefore be either when the days are long or at full moon. During a recent excursion, I stayed at Newnham-on-Severn, below Gloucester. This is about 3 hours 20 minutes from Paddington station, and it is possible to leave this station at 3.15 p.m. and be in time for the evening bore, see the morning bore next day, and be back at Paddington by 2.20 p.m.
