The Redsands Sea Forts are WWII relics located in the Thames Estuary. They've recently been opened up for visitors.

We want to visit them. They are awesome.

What

When

We're not sure yet, but it's looking like it'll be in 2011 due to weather conditions.

Where

Kent. Somewhere. We'll get a bus or something.

How

The Project Redsand trust have recently started giving tours.

The boat trip will cost approximately £29 per head. If you wish to board the forts (optional, apparently) there is an additional charge of £35 per head payable to the Project Redsand Trust (a registered charity), making the total charge around £64 per head. (We're going to check this, because it seems a lot.)
