So if you want to go to Studland, go in your car. If you are in your boat, go somewhere else. Newtown for instance - there's no public car park there.

There's no landing there by tender, either. Guess what? It's National Trust land...

So, given that we own a boat, and would rather go places by boat than car, would you care to suggest a sandy beach that I can take my children to by tender?

Studland's out, Poole harbour is out, Bournemouth is out. Mudeford may or may not be out, I'm not sure. Can anyone tell me the status of Ryde? Bembridge? Whitecliff Bay? East Head (think that one's NT, too, isn't it)?

There's no 'umbilical to the boat'. I just don't see why the NT should use land designated an SSSI to build a car park on, then exclude a subset of those who don't arrive by car.

The nicest thing about not planning is that failure comes as a complete surprise, and is not preceded by a period of worry and doubt.
