Location

In a field near Bierley, Isle of Wight. We may not be able to enter the field, but the village bus stop could serve as an alternative location!

Participants

Plans

Macronencer plans to take the ferry from Southampton (obviously) but is not yet sure whether to cycle down to the hash or take a bus. Probably he will cycle, as he is still too fat and needs shrinking :|

Sermoa and David will take the train from Winchester to Southampton, the ferry from Southampton to West Cowes, the Number 1 Southern Vectis bus to Newport and change to the Number 6 bus towards Ventnor, getting off at Niton or Whitwell. We will walk the final short distance to Bierley. Although there is a bus stop very near the geohash, i don't think the number 6 goes to it.

Note to others: you can pre-book train and ferry together from thetrainline.com. It was £12.10 from winchester, with a network railcard, £18.30 without.
