OK shall we say April 3rd then? Bout 2pm at Goring?

 

[suzi]

Ok with me. Never been on a beach ride!!

Where is Goring? Best place to park? I'll be driving myself (unless I'm closer to pick AH up??) so have to rely on my own navigation skills!!

 

[SuperCoblet]

Where is it? And can anyone go?

 

[Sanolly]

DH, sure the more the merrier! Goring is here

 

[SuperCoblet]

Would love to come but I just used google directions and it's almost 5 hours :/ I think I'll stick to my usual 1 hour away beach thanks anyway x

 

[arizonahoney]

I'm game, but we should double-check with whoever the council is that we would be able to ride at 2pm that day... I understand that some beaches have time restrictions for horses.

Says anytime between 1 October and 30 April.

We should also check tide times as we can only ride on the sand.

Has anyone been there before? What's the parking like?

AH - where abouts are you? I can pick you up if easier than for Sanolly?

 

[moody_mare]

wrong thread sorry!

 

[Sanolly]

I haven't been there so don't know about parking etc., but I can ring the council office and find out?

 

[suzi]

Ok. I'll try and find out the tide times.

When days / dates are you free? I can check tide times for a few days and work out when will be best for us to go.

 

[Sanolly]

The dates I put on the poll are the dates I am free

 

[suzi]

Am going to get a friend to double check tide times - I don't trust myself!!

I might struggle now on 3rd April as my OH reminded me that we have Peter Kay tickets at the o2 that evening.

Perhaps the 16th April would be ok for you both?

I'm now struggling on the 3rd a bit too - curses!! But shall we lock in the weekend after or the 16th, as Suzi says?

Info for you guys:

Parking is fine all along Marine Drive - although it does get busy, so you may want to aim for morning rather than afternoon.

Tide times are here:

If you go after the clocks change, you will need to adjust for Daylight Saving.

Hope you all have fun...

I'm happy with either 9/10 April or 16/17 April. Think Sanolly can do 9/10/16.

AH - how about you?

Anyone else want to join us?
