Southport BBQ

[Gizmo]

OK, still a go for weekend after next.

Given high tide is around 1:15PM (12:15 GMT), I reckon we should aim to meet up around 2:30pm. Although if someone local can double check how long after high tide the beach opens it'd help. I've sent an email to Sefton leisure authority to see if they know.

As for what to bring:
Food
Drink
Beach entertainment
Sun screen (well, we can hope anyway)
Wind break
Beach/deck chairs

Anyone have a portable gas BBQ/grill that they are willing to bring along? I'll bring some disposable BBQs if necessary.

May not have the gas bbq this year as sister asked to borrow for a horse show!

OK, had a response from Sefton coastal people. Apparently the beach only closes if the tide is above 9.5m, which it shouldn't be this weekend. So we should be good to go. Given this, can I suggest that we meet up at 1pm on the beach. We'll be a couple hundred yards down on the right.

Apparently it's now £3.50 to park on the beach.

No problem. I'll try and grab a few disposables. If anyone else has a gas BBQ they can bring it'd be appreciated.

Don't strain anything Bob, look after your bits before worrying about cooking.

Frick! The forum seems to corrupt links in quotes if they're too long, and you re-quote them.

Here is the proper link:

Phew! I thought I was going to have to convert my Surf into a Clarksonesque ToyBota

[Slugsie]

Just been told that Sunday is the last day of the Open Golf at Birkdale. As a result we can expect it to be BUSY, both getting in/out of Southport, and probably on the beach.

Bugger!

Oh well, not going to change the plans now.
