Come along to a beach party 
...in December 
to celebrate 20 (plus 
) years of geocaching.
Join us on the sandy beach at scenic Ruislip Lido between 11am and 1pm on Saturday 10 December for a chat and a picnic to celebrate 2 decades of geocaching. Bring your food, hot drinks, deckchairs, picnic blankets, sunglasses, flip flops...rain gear, thermal underwear and woolly hats 
(delete as appropriate).
There will also be a sandcastle building competion for those who wish to take part. (Please bring your own buckets, spades, and flags/shell decorations if you wish build a sandcastle). Judging will take place at 12.30 with prizes for tallest, and most memorable.
Please wear appropriate clothing for an outdoor event in December, though we would encourage you to add beach related gear and/or Christmas themed gear if you wish, for extra atmosphere/fun. Nearby there is a cafe selling hot food, and there are toilets and a children's playground. Please note that the lido water is not deemed suitable for swimming/paddling, as shown by the red flags flying on the beach.
If it is raining, we will gather under the nearby large green metal wet weather shelter instead.
There is a car park (£3.50 all day winter fee) and H13 bus stop @ 7 minutes walk away on the other side of the lido. The path round to the beach is wheelchair accessible (though there is a steep concrete slope in one place) but there is a single step down to the actual beach. Alternatively you can walk on footpaths through the woods from the south, to access the lido near to Woody Bay minature railway station.
