Dist:1.7km northeast<br/>This is an hour or two after high tide. The dyke is on the left while the channel is running away into the distance to the Blackwater Estuary. On the right is the long spit with Gore Saltings on the other (south) side of it.

Dist:1.8km north-northeast<br/>This channel parallels the sea wall (seen on the left). Reclaimed fields once occupied the land on the right of the channel but they have been allowed to revert to grazing marsh. A few cows were seen in the grass while ducks, herons and swans occupied the channel. This area was famous in Victorian times for its wildfowling. Ducks (like wigeon) were corralled into the covered inlets on the decoy ponds, caught there, killed, and then sent to the London markets.

Dist:1.8km north-northwest<br/>The green slime looks solid, but in fact covers deep ooze, which is impossible to walk across.
