wareham trip.

[BarryH]

I still think that a quickish trip to IOW would be good. Do it when the weather warms up and sleep on the boats. Make a overnighter of it so theres not so much rushing about and it'll give people time to get there from other areas if they wish. You never know haydn might come!

Yeah! I know its running rough, but your lucky its running at all!!

Long Island
Round Island is private, and seemingly connected to Long Island but not on the chart. It is a busy spot on a nice weekend evening with a sheltered sandy beach about 70yds long. Youngsters often overnight in the glade amongst the trees up the little cliff.
Navigation on a par with Wareham; and in my experience more difficult to get out than in .......don't really know why ;o)
Best on neaps
Enough shelter to raft and barbie on the boats if need be but if planning as a nice early season trip (May?) then being able to light a good fire on the beach (or bigger barbie) can help!
Maybe just best for a nice long evening in early July.

Newtown creek ( I.O.W ) allows beach barbies, fairly sheltered plenty of anchorages, or you can go further up river if overnighting, and it's the right end of the island for you Poole based boyo's. Any good?

sounds good to me, boat might even be ready by then.

I think keep it simple like last weekend. I think we found everyones level, loads of beer and grub, espesially if kiddies are involved. Although they seemed to look after themselves. IOW sounds a good weekend thing though.

that would be a guaranteed hangover and sore bum party based on the recent threads - is this really the sort of thing endorsed by members on this forum?????

time to worry when you wake up with a hangover AND a sore bum!!!
