Involved
The Place
This one is wet! It's in the Sea south of Worthing Pier.
I think a meet on the beach at the correct longitude is the best we can do unless someone has a boat!
Rinioth's attempt
Arrived at about 3:30pm, walked down to the waters edge at the correct longitude. The GPSr said 10.5 miles. Hung around for a bit and didn't see anyone looking suspicious ;) so wandered off to the end of the pier. GPSr said 10.3 miles. Still didn't spot anyone so went back to the first location and hung around a bit more.
Mat's attempt
