Hi all,
Planning the bank holiday weekend and we are keen to explore the Walton Backwaters but wanted some local advice on access.
We will be travelling up from the Blackwater probably from an over night stop at Pyefleet or Brightlingsea, and wanted advice on best time to leave to catch the tide up to the backwaters.
The charts suggest access is ok at all states of the tide but is that truly the case for the Walton Backwaters with its moving sands? Roca II has a draft of 1.05m
We are hoping to anchor up for the night, other than Stone Point which seems to be well publicised can anyone recommend any other quiet anchorages to savour the backwaters?
Is the holding safe enough that a middle of the night sortee to check the anchor at the turn of the tide is unnecessary?
Looking forward to your local knowledge.
Cheers
Chris
