Hi Mainkmain, not sure it's too easy to get onto the bathside area you're talking about. Think it's got a fence going around it with access via the sailing club, only. It is west facing tho, and I know a few lads have given it a bash, but with membership from the sailing club.
Upper Dovercourt - west end (earlerms) is the main spot. Only been a couple of times myself since moved back, but it's good for southerly and anything with an east in it.
I've discovered a beached area on the colne near my house which faces west. Great a couple a few hours either sid eof high tide.
Gis a shout when down next - perhaps we can hook up with a few others.
