[Confirmed!] Although up front, we know it’s going to be pretty windy so could be tough paddling at times, we’ve decided to go for it anyway – so we’re on for this coming Saturday 12th September for our next Water Wombles litterpick. It’s another big springy tide on the Crouch (5.61m at 14.33) which should cover the marshes again – and despite a fair bit more south-westerly breeze on the forecasts, we’re hoping we can broadly tuck out of it if we get in at Hullbridge for a longer paddle (with the tide both ways) up towards Battlesbridge and back. All capable estuary (and wind-proof!) paddlers welcome – as are on-foot pickers to walk the banks too. We plan to meet c.12.30pm ahead of a c.1pm start.
