About Burnt Key
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NW, so wind from the SE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
A harbour, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NW. Wind from the NW blows onshore, wind from the SE blows out to sea, and wind from the NE or SW runs along the shore. We found no boat hire, sailing school or club within 10 km on the map, so bring your own boat here. The town to stay in is Lívingston.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
