  • And the 2019 alliteration award goes to..

    The Summer Solstice falls on a Saturday this year - traditionally we have a sunset BBQ on Kite Beach and we may still do that but if the weather is fine then it's about time the swimmers amongst us claimed Studland as their own (pier to piers can be a bit repetitive).

    It's pretty much exactly 4km (2.2miles) so its no marathon, you don't need to ever go out of your depth and you can walk around any rocky bits (there is only one I can think of).

    So whaddya need - first off you need a walker - someone prepared to take on the onerous challenge of walking along a flat sandy sunny beach to a lovely pub and back and will carry your dry clothes - they will keep an eye on you so you can go at your own pace (walking on sand is pretty slow anyway).

    Some of us will be in fins some not so the paces will vary - all meet at the Bankes Arms after. the 50 bus (Breezer) takes you back to the ferry and beyond if the weather turns

    This is weather dependent (especially chop) - just RSVP for now and we will firm things up nearer the time.

    SUPs, kayaks, people with dogs all welcome but bear in mind even with fins our cruising speed is a slow walk (2-2.5mph)
