Can anyone tell me if the spiles are still accessable? It is a good mark to take the old man who is pretty frail these days but still enjoys a fishing session

Only way that can happen from what I see is by allowing access down the slip road under the bridge then onto the base of the pier.
The trail down the side of the bank on the new steps (for want of a better description) is hard work with weak knees but getting back out is something you need to avoid if you can. With a heavy tackle box, rod(s), rod stand etc it takes Sherpa Mensing and his crew to manage it all.
