I'm assured low tide is around 8.25/30am.
Am gonna be there with camera and mic+mini disc
as I have researched and written a song ('Out on Ye') about its origins,
the murdered hermit that was Richard De Veron and the 'penance'
imposed on the local threesome.
I want a piccie or two for the CD cover - mebbe even a soundbyte or two.
Anyone know if 'just anybody' is allowed down on the mud?
Need to get as near as poss.
Cheers - HFA

If you can't get a good pic, contact Doc Rowe as he has some excellent pics. There is a good one in his new book of May customs.
