Hey, thats the first object for the Dutch national sport wadlopen at SP! We can post Engelsmanplaat next :)
Anyway great place, sure will give it a go when I'm there.
cheers

But the highest point on Engelsmanplaat is a mere 8 metre dune, instead of a nice piece of YDS3/UIAA1 rock. I doubt it would get through SP censorship... On the other hand, we could do Vlieland, on which the "Vuurboetsduin" at 45 metres is the highpoint of Fryslan Province...
Unfortunately though, the approach to Vlieland can only be done by ferry...
Cheers. It's really worth it, and Tombelaine is a really nice, quiet break from the overpriced tourist trap of Mont Saint Michel, which is nonetheless still beautiful, but not the place to hang out more than 1 or 2 hours in my opinion. Let me know when you're in the area and what your itinerary is, I might be able to point out some other nice spots in NW Europe.
