The plan was to get myself stranded on a small uninhabited island overnight , it's a two mile walk to the island passing two smaller islands, little eye and middle eye , the main island is called hilbre island.
low tide was at 6pm and low tide the next morning was at 6.15am , you can only access the islands from low tide but have to allow yourself time to get back safely.
A lot of people have to be rescued every year by getting caught out by fast incoming tides , there's a safe route you are best taking to get back and too to the islands.
The walk is quite safe if you read up on the area and check the tide times before you visit the islands , it's a two mile walk but is quite slippy and wet underfoot so usually takes about an hour to make the journey.
I went with minimalist gear , British army Bivi bag with no tarp , oex sleeping bag , titanium pot with soto windmaster stove , it was very windy at times on the island but calmed down through the night.
I tried my first freeze dried meal , exhibition foods extreme energy range over 1000 kcal meals, chicken tikka and rice.
Heavy rain and even sleet and hail stone , then bright sunshine in the space of an hour so the weather changes quickly too.
It was a good adventure, I really enjoyed it!
thanks for watching!
