Shotley to Ramsgate, best available charts/folio?

Absolutely - Black Deep and Foulgers - stress free whenever we've done it...

I'm reminded of the time a came back from Calais in a gale. It was gusting F8, and although we'd intended to stop at Ramsgate it just seemed safer to stay out and keep sailing. With the wind directly astern, the tiny headsail was lugging us along at 7+ knots. I remember flying up Foulgers (pre-windfarm) at around 11pm absolutely terrified but totally unable to stop....
Foulgers every time for me nowadays

Well quite! Before I bought TG, I looked at Ondine of Donegal, a 36' Yawl with an inverse skyscraper proportions of a keel. I wrestled with the idea for so long that when I made the decision I had missed her. So on the rebound I went for shoal draught.

But diversity is good otherwise the book would only have one route......
