Selsey Bill

[Robert Wilson]

Always found the Mixon pole to be unnerving.

Beachy Head overfalls can be 'exciting' in wind over tide..

And another (bit further north!)

The area around Lady's Rock and the bottom end of Lismore in The Firth of Lorne, particularly just west of both.
In naughty conditions it's just plain unpleasant verging on horrid, but in calm conditions it has a creepy, sinister feel; quiet, roiling , swirly water which feeds the fears of something truly huge and menacing below the keel !

As a newcomer to Selsey area I transitted west-east in May 2015, edging between Street and Boulder buoys; misty, flat calm and surreal.
My spirits lifted when I heard then saw a Spitfire swooping about overhead in brilliant, clear blue skies!

The Spitfire is a regular sight I'm very glad to say, a two-seater based at Biggin Hill, they come and operate from Goodwood - £2,800 for a 20 minute ride I believe, or you can photograph it from a helicopter for less, alternatively go the full works and have family / friends photographing from the helo while one is in the Spit'.

I flew in the Boultbee Spitfire at Cumbernauld in Sept 2017.
Absolutely thrilling - a lifetime's ambition!
Got all the in-cockpit/flight pics to prove it :encouragement:
