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 where we will probably stop for some lunch. Then we take the Number 6 bus towards Ventnor, getting off at Niton or Whitwell. We will probably have time to look around a bit. I want to get some geohashing postcards to send to people! The meetup will be at 4pm. We'll probably try to take some food in the hope of having a geohash picnic! Later on we might go to Blackgang Chine ... i particularly want to see the hedge maze there.

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.
