Sources of information about Havengore route, please?

[NealB]

Can anyone point me in the direction of pilotage information for the Havengore route, please?

I've had a look round the downloads on eastcoastpilot.com and crossingthethamesestuary.com and didn't see anything (yes, I've got both books, but they're onboard at the moment).

Thanks.

East Coast Rivers has good info about Havengore, but mine is on the boat too!
Try also the Quinetic? Website about bridge opening.
Also a good video was posted on here about a year (ifoxwell?) ago about a passage along Havengore and it's on YouTube (search fun n stuff)

I wasn't sure if we were allowed to mention that one on here, but, yes, I've got various editions of ECR dotted around (current edition on board).

Look at the Roach Sailing Association website.

I did it with Lisa a few years ago. Lovely from the bridge inwards. Coming in across the mud, lots of withies that had no apparent relevance. A bit of spare tide and fingers crossed. The only vital thing is to contact the bridge to make sure they are opening it.

Thanks: that's pretty close to my passage plan.

If the weather plays fair the weekend after next, we hope to bring 'Arendala' (our 1967 Seamaster 34) round from Limehouse to Fambridge for a very, very, much needed refit.

HW on Saturday 17th is just before 1400, 5.35m, so I guess there should be more than 2 metres over the sands.

With a draft of under 3 feet, shouldn't be too tricky.

We did it last summer, and got lots of good advice in this thread:

That is a very useful thread indeed.

Thank you.

There is a lot of detailed info in ECP3 and ECP4.
However I'm hearing recently that some seaward withies nearer the bridge may have disappeared, and that one of the four big posts on the sands that we show on the chartlet in the book is no longer there, probably the 2nd one in from seaward. Withies in Narrow Cuts are pretty sparse too, I'm told. Must get over there with camera and notebook again!
We'd be pleased to hear any more detail from folk going that way in case we don't manage it.
