Hi Greig and welcome.
You've taken me back a bit mentioning Shell Island. It must be 35 years since I've camped there, is it still the largest camp site in the UK? Got to be honest, not my scene! might have been the time of year but I need more than 4 hours of sleep each night!
I had a Laser at the time and I can remember it being very shallow in places but enjoyable all the same.
I am assuming you have all the safety kit you need, as you've studied quite a bit.
You don't say what your OB is?
