Knott End-on-Sea
KNOTT END-on-SEA: Temporary beach landing site
Note: Second picture - caught by surprise when walking along the front, this aircraft passed overhead to land. I reckon it is a Evektor Eurostar.
Location: Just NNW of Knott End-on-Sea town and just NNE of Fleetwood
Note: This site is at the western end of PILLING SANDS - see seperate entry
NOTES:
On a visit to the region in August 2016 I was delighted, when in Fleetwood, to see microlights landing on the sands across the river. Enquiries from local people revealed that this was a popular site for microlights, and often used during the week, perhaps for training purposes?
It soon became clear on a subsequent visit, (see the third picture), that local knowledge of tides is essential to use this location, when the sands are dry enough for use. I imagine that, in this third picture, the tide has just gone out and the sands still appear to be waterlogged.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
