Osbourne Bay

[[10753]]

just wandering what if any landing is allowed in Osbourne Bay, IOW. Thanks

 

[AIDY]

from memory it's private property... owned by national heritage i think

All landing forbidden at the moment (though presumably allowed in the event of an emergency).

Government proposals to allow access for all to the entire UK shoreline are currently up for consultation and it will be interesting to see what happens with Osborne Bay if/when the proposals become law. I suspect there will be some exclusions, in spite of the fine words..... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I've been driven off by the National Trust Nazis myself. I can't wait to see how they pplan to weasel out of that one.

As mentioned previously, it's an English Heritage property, not National Trust, so you won't have been driven off it by National Trust employees

if you want to land there you can hire the beach for the day...i will cost you a few K.. I've seen a few weddings / marques on the beach.

I guess you could always land and declare it an invasion!

Couldn't you land at say half ebb, confine yourself to below high water mark and enjoy a few hours without stepping onto Heritage property?

Re: Invading Osbourne Bay

Humm.....dependant on what constitutes an invasion could do the bank holiday weekend !

If you beached your boat at half ebb by the time the jobsworths arrived you would be unable to leave anyway. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I think that there is something special about Osborne Bay's status vis-avis the usual "Public area" below MHWS

IIRC, something to do with Queen Victoria wanting privacy from the hoi polloi.

 

[aitchw]

Yeah, that would be an added bonus in the ensuing argument /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

cost you £1850 to park your tender there for the day !

 

[Rabbie]

+ VAT!

No. Queen Vic changed it so that land on the IW is owned down to mean LOW water springs.
