Kentish Flats 185488397 729bb056f4 o.jpg

5 miles North of Herne Bay lie 30 wind turbines 115 metres tall arranged in a square of North Sea 1.5 miles across. We could go there on 6th February 2010. http://www.kentishflats.co.uk

And if we get good weather and feel up to it then two miles further out are the 7 deserted WW2 forts of Shivering Sands. Shivering Sands Forts

Good photo here Shipping Channel

This would be a trip for 3 star sea paddlers with experience of paddling distances of up to 20 miles. We might have to paddle that far without the chance to get out of the boat. The forts are 7.5 miles from the nearest land (i.e. 2.5 hours away) and to get to them we have to cross a shipping lane.
