That's not a bad idea Uncle.

We'll have to pull some fingers out if we're going to do it this year the only dates remaining are Sunday 16th sept and Sunday 7th oct. It say's you can't buy tickets in advance and yet also says that the last August date is fully booked... So not sure how that works?
Not sure if next year will be an option, having seen the erosion on the seaward side. I think one good tide would have it lying on the beach like a big stripy whale!!
The boat is £3.50 and sets sail at 1.30pm. So plenty of time for chips beforehand. (Cue Road Captain Grumpy.. )
If anyone is interested I will mail the trust and try to get a group booking. (for sept 16th.)
