Swinging the Compass in the Orwell

[Little Rascal]

Hi All,

We are coming down to SYH again in a few weeks with my Europa. I've moved the steering compass and it looks like it has some deviation. Can anyone suggest a good spot to swing the compass in the Orwell please?

Thanks,
Jon

We did ours just upriver of the entrance to Foxs and there was still a fair bit of traffic which causes issues when you are trying to do slow 360 degree turns etc.
If you are coming up the Orwell from the sea, I would suggest a better idea would be the Stour as it is quieter, there are less moorings and there are a couple of large expanses of water at high tide you could use.

Thanks Wingdiver.
I was wondering if there were any particularly obvious transits about?
Thanks
Jon
