Salt Marsh Explorations

"There is only one real wilderness left in 21st-century Britain: the salt marsh"

Patrick Barkham - the Guardian

Salt Marsh Explorations:

A sail through the protected and calm creeks, between Wells-Next-the-Sea, Stiffkey, Morston, Blakeney and Cley in either a mussel flat, beach punt, the crab boat or on very high tides, just within the larger creeks, the whelk boat.

We have two starting points:

  • Our HQ at East Quay, Wells-Next-the-Sea, for the mussel flats, crab boat and whelk boat
  • Blakeney Quay, for the beach punt

Length of explorations:

  • On the tide for 3 -4 hours, depending on tides, weather and the light.
  • Full day, 8 hours, on the tide and then a low tide exploration.

Provisions:

  • Breakfast is typically bacon and eggs with tea or locally ground coffee or a vegetarian option
  • lunch/Supper we serve a light homemade soup with a north Norfolk picnic and homemade cake.

Experience /Age:

  • No experience is required, we are super flexible, so you can either skipper the boat and handle the sails or just sit back and relax.
