CHAPMANS POOL 18-06-2016.
This trip is will not be possible if strong South/South Westerly winds are forecast. This trip is marked as a two day event with a sleep over in Mupe bay or Chapman's with a return on the morning tide. The tides are not favourable without early or late start. I intend to have lunch on board and then explore in the afternoon. Then make my way back to Mupe bay against a foul tide and anchor up for the night with a DIY BBQ for supper. Sunday, breakfast then a chill out before setting off back for home. |

The aim of this trip is to travel across Weymouth Bay and anchor up in Chapman's Pool.
From here you will have access to the beach where ammonite fossils can be found in the clay. However they are fragile so if you want one take a suitable container. The ones I have seen are about 10 cm in diameter.
You could always choose to walk up to the top os the Cliffs to St Aldhelms or you could walk to Worth Mattravers and get a Pie and Pint in the Compass Pub . Both are doable choices but the walks will take some time. Check out via O/S or GEarth.

The tides are 3 days away from springs and the charts below indicate tides requiring an early or late start. I intend to leave my mooring no later than 07:00 Saturday with a planned arrival around 12:00 noon.
