High Tide at Parkgate : 23rd March 2015
Another chance for a high tide at Parkgate wasn’t to be missed and at 10.2 at 12.20pm the height and timing could not have been better. The problem was that it was a beautiful windless and very sunny day – not always what you want at Parkgate where a lot of low pressure and a bit of wind always helps to draw the water in. It being a Sunday we weren’t sure whether we would get a parking place near the RSPB car park where we normally view the marsh from. On the plus side, it was the third high tide day so the marsh had been soaking up water for a couple of days already. What would we find then ?
