Mt. Biking: Dovercourt Wind Direction: Wind Stength: very light Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: hot Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
With no wind forcast and hot and sunny weather I thought it a good
opportunity to check out the flatwater windsurfing potential of Dovercourt
and the marshes around Horsey Island at the back of Walton on the Naze :)
So after quick stops at Mistley and Harwich we parked up by the double
lighthouses in Dovercourt for lunch.We decided to bike from here and headed
off along the prom to the end where the kiters launch-nice spot.We
continued around South Hall Creak to Irlam Beach where we locked the bikes
and continued on foot along the beach the mile to end of Pewit Island and
it was stunning !!! you could have been in the Caribbean and we did'nt see
a soul :) Also found some great windsurfing spots especialy at low water
with lots of sand bars and warm water !!! Then back to the bikes for
refreshments and continue along the sea wall to the wild fowlers quay,met
some lovelly people who told us all about the area and then back along the
roads through Little Oakley to the van.Met a sup /boarder out for a cruise
who filled me about sailing spots and then fish and chips at the carpark at
the end of the prom where we stayed the night :)
