Underwater Obstruction in the River Gannel: Scaffold Footbridge at Coordinates 50 24.562 N, 5 6.692 W. This uncharted river obstruction consists of a footbridge constructed from scaffolding, located in the deepest part of the channel. The structure provides access across the River Gannel during low tides but becomes an unmarked submerged hazard as the tide rises, covering approximately one hour before high water. Positioned at coordinates 50 24.562 N, 5 6.692 W, this navigational hazard is noted to cover at high water.

Surveying Details

ITS PURPOSE IS TO ALLOW ACCESS ACROSS THE RIVER GANNEL AT THIS POINT AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE LEVEL OF THE TIDE IS BELOW THAT OF THE FOOT BRIDGE. AT THESE TIMES THE BRIDGE IS NOT REALLY A DANGER TO NAVIGATION, AS THERE CAN BE NO NAVIGATION THERE. WHEN THE TIDE IS ABOVE THE LEVEL OF THE BRIDGE IT IS AN UNMARKED AND UNCHARTED DANGER. IT ALSO BLOCKS THE DEEPEST PART OF THE CHANNEL. IT COVERS AT ABOUT 1 HOUR BEFORE HW, AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME AS THE CHARTED DUCKBOARD BRIDGE AT 5024.47N, 0505.94W. (R LLOYD, EMAIL DTD 2.10.08).
