Parkgate High Tide : 4 Jan 2014
Our first outing of the year after the Christmas and New Year period was to Parkgate where there was due to be a high tide (10.1 metres) due at 1pm. We got there by 11.20am but all the parking spaces on the upper level of the old baths car park but we did get a spot on the lower level. Our preference for the top level was as a result of the bottom level flooding during the now legendary high tide of 5th December. At that high tide the winds had been so strong the tide quite high and the air pressure so low that the whole area had flooded. Would we experience the same this time ?
