culler nose point

[hibbdogg]

alrite lads can anyone tell me if culler nose point and dunstanborugh castle are high or low tide marks.sorry about spelling if its wrong any info would be a real help cheers.

The water is that deep I would say it may not matter! Many a happy day at Dunstanbrough \'macky bashing\' and have never considered the tide.

Like hedley says it doesn\'t really matter but you need to know where your chuckin.
Get your self up there on the next big tide at low water to see where the kelp beds are and thats where you need to be aiming for.
Wouldn\'t attempt to fish it with any sea running.
Find cullernose very over rated, have had better results up towards dunstaborough cushait steel area.

Good advice Paul,the water is deep and the sea comes in very hard so theres a good chance you could get washed off or swamped,if in doubt dont bother mate

Cullernose is the most over-rated mark in the north east.

And it`s some hike to Dunstanburgh !

Usually worth the walk, though.

alot of people say that Tony,it probably had a couple of good seasons a while back and people still think its a good shot now

[hibbdogg]

thanks alot lads verry verry helpfull as i dont know these marks. If i go to dunstanbourough whear is the best place to park?also will castle be open this time of year?

[tonyfromalnwick]

The best and nearest place to park is at Dunstan Steads.

It`s signposted down to your right, between Craster and Embleton.

Just follow the track down and park up.

Not sure about the castle just now, but you walk around the outside.
