Another Whereisit...

So that's Spitty's Reach I guess? I've never been up that far. Must try it one day.

Spitty's about 1/2 mile upstream from the S Bend with the caravan site on it.

Gets a bit narrow up there, need a decent tide, although Roy Green did get Victory 83, a 12 metre up there to store for a year at Battlesbridge. Quite an achievement.

I've done a lot of sailing with Roy (Hart) over the years - as I remember, we had to wait for one of the highest tides of the year to get Victory up to Battlesbridge.
We also managed to get it up Benfleet creek to Dauntless!! :eek:

Roy Hart, correct of course. I was thinking of one my Bid Management team here. Doh.

TG: I havent tried, but I imagine there to be little water there unless its a pool, as battlesbridge and Hullbridge are notably short oh H2O at low water.
 
Good morning All

YES... well done!! it is up at Yokesfleet.
It's just around the corner from the caravan park.

Many thanks to Steve and Heather for a FAB afternoon out on their Motorboat.... and we didn't run aground!! ;)
