Its a bit of a giveaway really isnt it. Yes - this was Blakeney three days ago. I couldn't believe how clear the water was - I dont think I've seen it that clear. It was beatiful; sun was out, water was warm and calm, there were seals swimming all over the place and coming up the boat. Great stuff.

I've walked/paddled/swam round there at real low water a few times.

Not really. You can lauch about 2 hours before high tide. The only other place anywhere near that part of the coast is Sea-Palling (by tractor) but thats a good few miles away by sea.
