There is a track up from the beach to the heights of the point north of the fort, but it is on the south side of that point rather than the north Perhaps skiff could hide under the guns while unloading due to the steepness and height of the cliffs, but I'm uncertain without a map. Garrison is only ~200 men, so landings could only be opposed by ~100 say. | |
