Planning

srs0 is hoping to be there around 18:15. He's thinking of biking to here[1] and then finding a path down to the beach and walking. Does anyone know if the above location has a path down to the beach or if he will have to go down by the path he knows about at 16th and Marine Drive instead? -Srs0 15:34, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

I know a path on the Reserve that should get us a bit closer. I, however, can't do 18:15. Aiming to be there for noonish. - Elbie 17:04, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm back. Success! You can't access it from the east, though - no trespassing from the country club. I went around it and came up from the south: this involved slightly over a kilometre of weed-wacking. Wouldn't recommend it as a means of getting there (from the north looks more promising -- kayak hash would be even better). Either way, bring good rain boots, it's mucky. - Elbie 19:41, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up - I was going to walk along the beach barefoot. I'll bring the hiking boots instead. Anyone else planning on heading there later tonight? -Srs0 19:48, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Also-- bring a good hat. I had a sad lack of tree cover on my trek out there! Good luck! - Elbie 19:54, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Shall do, thanks. Also, for anyone who was planning on going tonight, I'm now aiming for closer to 17:30 or 17:45. I doubt there's anyone, but just in case. -Srs0 23:04, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Then to warn you if you didn't look it up already -- high tide's at 8:37PM. - Elbie
