Tide levels at Dunstanburgh castle

[jollyjack]

I live a good 4 hrs away and want to travel up and photograph the black boulder and dunstanburgh castle. Looks like a high tide just before sunrise this weekend. Is it possible to get a shot of the castle and the famous black rocks?

Have a look at http://www.visitmyharbour.com/harbo...r/chart/F0696F9E81611/craster-approaches-2012

The green bit is the tidal zone (covers and uncovers). Find the area you want to stand and look for the nearest number. E.g. just to the north of the castle, their is an underscored 2 and a small 5. This means 2.5m above datum.

Then look at http://easytide.ukho.gov.uk/EASYTIDE/EasyTide/ShowPrediction.aspx?PortID=0207&PredictionLength=7 Any time the level is over 2.5m then that area will be under water. You want to leave a bit of time for a safety margin too.
