The FOURTH annual Christmas morning meet!
Christmas morning at 08:00 - come and enjoy Bishy Beach! I will be here between 08:00 and 08:30, and hopefully I shall not be alone!
'Bishy Beach' is a gravel beach that lays alongside the River Itchen. The beach is accessible for most of the year, bar when there has been unusual periods of heavier rain. In the summer, children can be found here, playing in the rivers edge. Although we often bring our swimming costumes to this event we are now being asked to stay out of the water to protect the wildlife so please find your Christmas morning dip elsewhere.
Parking is available in the road alongside the meeting point - I don't anticipate a large turn out so there should be plenty of space for those who wish to join this now annual event :-)
There are no facilities here at all (there is one bench!), but you can access the area with prams, etc.
As the meet is adjacent to the river, care will need to be taken if you bring along children or other animals whom may have a liking for 'diving in'.
