don't t know camber sands must be in the far south east, this side of hong kong ;bara is a wonderful experience,but there a fair bit of water and few hills to watch out for.the beach is cockle shell(safer than morecambe bay !!) and solid ; (often some standing water on the surface which can give a illusion of depth in certain conditions),some larger aircraft have been in there in it's history,loganair did try with a 360(shorts),try southport sands; that i think still has a licenced strip,barra now has a beacon and with gps and with tiree vor easy nav.surface wind can be odd at times, and wx very local,go dig up some cockles ,but not off the runways ,which were marked with posts,great times,as posted ring the number ,(wash and brush up required,not for the night out; for aircraft ,salt is corrosive,
