The Beach is Back!

[Mation]

Ooh! I'd love to come to this if I'm about

Sus had a really nice story about you, Maggot, when I interviewed him at the end of Unsound in Italy for u75r, and it all started at this beach party of yours last year....

 

[Maggot]

well, maggot says it's a couple of miles down the coast from where it was last year, but last year got a train and took a nice evening stroll (under an hour, post-pub ) to get there, if that's any help

Not sure about public transport, to this place. If there are buses they are likely to be infrequent. I think a train to the nearest town and a taxi would be your best bet.


Mation: most of my encounters with sus are on the beach. I originally found him by following his dogs.

 

[dynamicbaddog]

I'd like to come, can I have a lift please?

 

[Thimble Queen]

I want to come to this, prolly by public transport too I'd love a lift but dont know anyone well enough to ask

 

[Onket]

Ditto.

But it's so far away that I have no idea if I am doing something or not anyway at the moment.

 

[citydreams]

If we get enough people. maybe we could hire a minibus?

 

[MightyAphrodite]

I am up for this, if i don't get eaten by a bear before July

At this rate we might need a coach.

 

[art of fact]

im deffinately up for this although that week in July is shaping up to be rather hectic to say the least.

Cool - an American contingent!

Although by the sounds of your backyard, I'm not confident you'll still be in one piece then .....

 

[Kameron]

Put me on the list, beach parties are the way forward.

Cheers for that.. The possibility of walking for more than an hour back in the morning kind of puts me off

 

[Thimble Queen]

minibus sounds like a good idea! I'd def be up for it..

Well.. we could do a lift service from the train station.. If it's only a couple of miles or so I don't mind going backwards and forwards a couple of times

tbh, i think the walk back was about an hour, it was like the retreat from moscow, lots of fresh-looking people looking at us with a knowing grin

you want to be careful, afro - our stinging nettles can be quite vicious

That knowing grin.. I know it well

 

[Mation]

I'll be along with Fosbury Flob (not registered). Which train station is it? Can someone PM me...

 

[oddworld]

Can I come from Chelmsford , if there is a lift to be going

Otherwise train is good

 

[Maggot]

Well.. we could do a lift service from the train station.. If it's only a couple of miles or so I don't mind going backwards and forwards a couple of times

That's jolly decent of you. It's about 4 miles from the main station, although there's a little station slightly nearer.

 

[Maggot]

Just found out it starts in the afternoon, with a more child-friendly vibe. I can't make it until the evening though.

 

[magneze]

I wonder if the water will be warm enough to throw ourselves around in at 7am... Hope so!

 

[Maggot]

Bump. Cos it's two weeks away.

Citydreams, you still up for the minibus idea?

 

[the B]

I want to come to this, prolly by public transport too I'd love a lift but dont know anyone well enough to ask

Think I remember you from Hampstead Heath sometime last year in the summer? That or it was someone else...

 

[citydreams]

Yes indeedy

 

[the B]

And I'm a maybe... I need to check when I'm off to Manchester (clashes with either this or Ashton Court)... but I might well be free for this. So I'm quite literally 50-50 (for this and Ashton Court).

 

[William of Walworth]

We've checked our dates and we're definitely up for this -- it's the weekend between Ashton Court and WOMAD, so the w/e of the 23/24 is appealingly blank right now, ideal!!

I reckon we'd want to get a train to the nearest place, but citydream's offer of a lift from the station sounds nice

I can thoroughly, thoroughly recommend 'Stig's favourite pub' -- it's wonderful. Be aware though that there's no food at this pub other than crisps etc. (mind you beer is food and the beer is wonderful, as is the local cider!). Also I think the pub closes after 3 o clock on Sundays

Oh well early pub closure will make partied out Urbanites get a train back at a halfway sensible time ...

And there'd be a pub near London Bridge or Victoria ( ) anyway!

 

[Stig]

The pub is open 12-3 and 7-11 on sundays. We'll have to get there at noon sharp to get a decent three hours of drinking time in. My favourite pub in the whole world!!

 

[Callie]

Well if krs is going i want to go too! twas great last time - a lift would be nice if possible and can stump up some moolah for petrol/minibus/juggernaught hire too

Perhaps if there are several people planning to go by train we could arrange a meet of some kind and hire a cab/minibus at the other end if its too diffcult to get to from the train station?
