Oh pot that's where I thought first of all but I was put off by the lack of pontoons in view.
Got stuck there as well with Mr.Jarman on board, later on the same day that we got stuck in Barlinghall Creek. All in the name of research and in the best possible taste, of course.
We got up there at HW-2 (with a 1.2m draught) which caused widespread astonishment amongst the locals, soon overtaken but much ribald mirth and banter as we got well wedged trying to turn round in the 'V' at the top.
It was a good day's ditch-crawling, and that evening at Paglesham our sides were still aching from laughing.

For more years than I care to remember the Roach was our home river. From the early 1960s to the mid 1990s we sailed various of my dad's boats plus a series of our own dinghies and boats, which were all kept at Paglesham.
In the early days, pre-Roach Sailing Association, the Paglesham dinghy race courses (started off the Hard by King Varcoe with his shotgun) often went upriver and rounded a mark near Stambridge. So the view, looking E downriver in the photo, is quite familiar. Although we usually saw it with a bit more water and less mud...

I can asure you the mud is there all the time, you just can't see it.
