Hi does anyone know anything about Pig Shoot Ford by Hurn in Dorset its close to Bournemouth Airport. All I can find is its 10 foot deep ? so er is it a ford or a river ?!?!?!?!?
 
According to wetroads:
"I have received complaints from the Hurn Estate that 4x4 drivers are passing through the ford across the tributary of the Stour near Throop and then attempting to go on further through the water meadows beyond the field gate. The UCR is "No Through Road" and no attempt should be made to continue any further beyond the field gate. The old ford further on at SZ115956 known as "Pig Shoot Ford" was dredged in the 1970's by the river authority as part of a flood alleviation schem and is now approx 10 feet deep! Need a submarine."
