I've had a look at the tides and low water is at about ten past nine in the morning and high tide is at three-thirty in the afternoon. It's about a three hour drive for me so if I drop my son at school and come straight up I should be there by midday (or I could switch to "nasty dad" mode and make him get the bus, then I could be there much earlier).

Theoretically at the moment we are available for the 10th as you rightly worked out - but Ian wants to go on a weekend day - he wants access to the beach for the waders - esp now we have big lenses that should allow us to be out there but not close to the seals at all and still get shots - but we're as interested in the waders - and maybe just a bit more interested in the waders actually. The thing no-one knows in advance is which day of the week will the aircraft fly or not - if the red flag isn't flying and planes are not about then from what I've read you can go out....
Will let you know in the week (I'm going missing this weekend!) I suppose we might do it twice which would be a week tomorrow and the 10th.......... Our plan involves us getting up very early like 2am and off at 3 to be parking up at 7.30am - a) to get a parking spot and b) to avoid the worst of the visitors and c) cos days are so short.........
