The Estuaries of South-east Essex - 14th October 2000

Unfortunately, very heavy rain marred what was an otherwise excellent value for money trip.

These boat trips are run from Wallasea Marina on board the Essex Lady II, the Wallasea - Burnham ferry. The cost is £5 for a three hour trip all around the creeks and inlets of Foulness and Potton islands.
