Just to advise that someone has now put a lock on the gate that you need to drive through in order to access the point via the sea wall. |

I hope that didn't result in a wasted journey Nick? Does the locked gate mean a total no go or just adds a bit more of a yomp onto the end? |

Compared to driving its a lot more yomp, at least 20 mins. Hopefuly by the time the cod season gets into full swing the lock will have 'disappeared'. :lol: Any ideas of why its' suddenly been locked again - its' on the opposite side to Hinkley C so can't be for that reason. |

I would suspect its been locked to nip in the bud any anti nuclear protesters setting up a camp/base along the sea front access point - stop them nipping in the back door so to speak - will ask some of the lads that work there to see if this is the case. |

Salt water doesn't taste the same as the fish that swim in it! If you don't need it - put the damn thing back

ive been told the lock is on only when the farmer has animals in the field, because bloody idiets have to spoll it for the rest by leaving the gate open and letting the sheep out, told come winter no animals will be in there hope that helps. |

I've fished there a lot and generaly there isnt really that much of a problem with the gate being left open, infact I cant remember ever finding it in that state. Anyway the lock is now gone so there is no longer a problem. |

So in addition to WD40, jump leads and a baseball bat, it now looks like I'll need to keep a pair of bolt cutters in the boot... :ph43r:

No, the lock was removed by who ever put it there in the first place and it was only there due to the protest over the construction of Hinckley C BUT we did go out there to remove it only to find it gone. |
