No but it's really fascinating to watch. See the pole in the corner look how far up the water comes.

Vans all parked up ..14

Have you seen the honesty box?

 

[irnbru]

Peter if you park opposite the closed cafe you should be able to puck up the pubs free wifi. We were parked up the top corner and could pick up both the pub and 4 bt fons using the iboost

Bit of good videoing there San must be weird to see it

 

[irnbru]

What's weirder Debs is when you can lie on the car park ground , lean over and feel the water. It wasn't cold funnily enough.

Are you going to see the castle Peter?

We stay 4 miles away, unfortunately I've had a few sherries this afternoon or I'd pop down for a cuppa.
Enjoy your stay and if you need any info just ask

Please don't take this the wrong way I'm not meaning to be a smart arse but high tide changes time daily

No not at all, I won't think that.

It varied when we were there, thought maybe it was roughly the same . We had 3 lunchtimes. Maybe half hr variation.

I'm not a fisherman but I'm sure it moves roughly 1/2 hour each tide.

This isn't Glencaple but Southerness which is a couple of miles down stream on the opposite side.

we are going to stop off there on our way up to Falkirk, not been before but looks too good not to

useful info on wifi Sandra thanks

and yes to tides move roughly 30minutes per tide, we used to get tide timetables when we stopped down the way at Gatehouse of Fleet, is always amazed me how much change in depth (height) there is as well

just found this, seems to say tide times are not quite as predictable as I said, not half hour in all locations

not even sure if any of these are anywhere near Glencaple


edit @lorger posted something more useful while I was messing around trying to find mine

 

[lorger]

@DavidG58 if you let me know when your here I might let you buy me a drink. It's a lovely location I'd use it if it wasn't so close.

Thursday 29th June, me possibly with Bev, probably with @Debs (in her own MH ) and any others that fancy popping in on the way to Falkirk, or anywhere else for that matter

Lol I' m very glad you clarified that for the smutty members amongst us I wasn't sure if that's where you'd decided on....

 

[lorger]
