Foulness Island Bike Ride

http://www.thorpebayrotaryevents.co.uk/bikeride.html

Thorpe Bay Rotary are organising a charity ride to raise money for the new Keyhole Cancer Appeal.

Foulness island is a small island in Essex which is owned by the Ministry of Defence and used for weapons testing. It is normally not possible to visit it, but once a year there is a charity cycle ride around the island, and this year it's on 31st August. More info is in the link above.

Register and pay here, the cost is £12.50 - http://www.thorpebayrotaryevents.co.uk/bikeride-application.html
I have select 1pm as the start time, so meet there at the start at 1pm.

We're probably going to get the train - 10:14 Train from Liverpool Street to Wickford (on the Southend line).

It's a really short ride, but the appeal here is to be going somewhere where you're not normally allowed to go.

Fox led a ride to here two years ago, I think....it was a fantastic place.

And last year. great place...

I saw this flagged up elsewhere and was contemplating..... I am almost in, just need to check other plans. And it's a nice short Shoosh-length ride ;)

Although be warned that time finished in Foulness in 2010
