I have 6 berths. Can daughter and mates be marooned in a tent on Stone Point?

[/ QUOTE ]Yep.. ive seen people in tents there before now...

 

[Wunja]

Please can someone provide the coordinates of the 'X'? and is it sensible to get there from Harwich by bicycle?

large pump-up tyres a must /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

I'll dig the lat/lon out.....

And no.... it would be pretty much impossible from Harwich by bike..... you might be able to do the last 2 or 3 miles on foot (its along a marshy/sandy area), but really only practical by boat!

 

[MoodySabre]

Google lat and long pop up with annoying decimal mins and secs.

Thumbing a lift from Ha'penny Pier is the only viable option. If my crew is mutining (?) then a big strong boy to deal with the anchor would be welcome /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Wunja]

Consider my son volunteered; the anchor may be heavier than he is though!

Don't worry Roger, all you've got to do is mention three magic words, and he'll be kept quiet....

Are you sure about that pin placement? When I looked on the chart I thought Stone point was opposite that on the 'mainland'?

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Its the mainland side..... the island (Horsey Island) is private property....

 

[Otter]

Is this right? web page

 

[CPD]

That looks right though its odd seeing it on a map and not a chart.

Chicken, BBQ, Carbon, Furnace ??????? ....... Moi ?????
I shan't be cooking this year, ahem /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I suppose your previous disastrous efforts were some form of extreme female attraction ritual designed to bring out the mothering instinct.
It obviously worked, you jammy git.

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

yes, thats right..... you may prefer the blue bit to the white bit though..... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Shamal will be there with a crew of 4, no kids for the weekend as they're off to army cadet camp but have press ganged 2 others to make up the crew. Will bring food, grog and firewood.

Looking forward to meeting everyone for the first time.
