Piel Island 24th & 25th April

[999Mike]

I can meet up somewhere along the route for a rideout.

Ok,providing the usual things(work,money,time) count us in.
Deb and I will make a start on the Friday and camp somewhere nearby so we can join the rideout(still want to do the Hardknott on the GSA)
Obviously with the late return crossing we will camp again somewhere on the way home so i would need a "Long weekend" for that
Austin,this sounds like a brilliant trip.Thanks for organising it

Pete, you are both more than welcome to stay here Friday and Sunday nights

I dont think my liver can cope with you 4 days in a row

Thanks for the offer,i just might take you up on that

as there still seems to be some concern about crossing

I'm more concerned about wrynose and hardknot ......I've got bad memories of it and still pain in my ankle and a dodgy thumb as a reminder

You might want to consider crossing at, or preferably before, low water, rather than after, so if there's any delay or problem you've got more time to get out of the way before the tide comes in again. (That's on the basis of experience of tides and causeways generally - I don't know this place, and don't know how long the sands are uncovered.)

I don't have detailed tide tables to hand, but as far as I can see that date is a moderate tide (between springs and neaps) so it won't be a particularly low (dry) low tide, though neither as high (wet) as it sometimes is (if you follow my drift).

I do hope to join you, but chances are probably less than 50% at present.
