-As 4:00 GMT tends to be a little dark, we're suggesting a meet-up at 2:00 p.m so we can see what we're doing.  In the absence of a boat, and given the risk of dangerous seas, we're also going to meet at the most northerly point at the same latitute where the water is sufficiently shallow not to inundate footwear. Co-ordinates look to be, 57.7238, -3.350491 (tide dependent), on the beach north of Duffus.
