RIDE POSTPONED ONE DAY

This will be a short, easy ride for those who would like to see a few Early Purple Orchids. They may have disappeared by the time of my next Wild Flower ride on 9th June.
We can meet INSIDE the Ferry Boat Inn, Hayling Island, on Saturday, 22nd May, at 11.15am. The ferry leaves from the Eastney side at 10.55am. Ferry costs £2.75 for a single fare. (Contactless payment preferred.) After enjoying a coffee/tea we will need to walk for about 20 - 30 minutes along the sea front to the site where orchids can be seen. You are advised to bring some shoes suitable for walking on shingle, ie NOT your best, cleated cycle shoes! My husband, Bill, has kindly offered to stay at the Ferry Boat Inn guarding all our bikes while we are walking.
Early Purple Orchid is a "top spot" in our i-spy booklet, 25 points!
After seeing the orchids we will return to the Ferry Boat Inn. From there I could lead anyone who'd like to ride to Northney, where we could have lunch at Northney farm tea room. Following lunch, I could lead to The Eastern Road cycle way and back to Eastney.

Bookings for this ride

Pop-up rides are invitation-only. We are operating under Government guidelines which dictate we must control the size of our rides.

About Pop-up rides

Individual ride leaders can create pop-up rides for any day and time. People can then ask the ride leader for permission to join their ride. Leaders have complete discretion who they invite to join. It is vital that you do not join a pop-up ride unless you are invited by the ride leader, or your name appears in the booking list shown for each ride.

If you receive an invitation, please do your best to join the ride because you might be taking a place that could have been used by someone else. Unless you have a good reason for not turning up, you might find it difficult to join future rides.

The small size of some pop-up rides means we might be unable to split a ride if you get into difficulties. We will do all we can to escort you back to the start point, but please be prepared to navigate yourself home or to call for support from a partner, relative or friend.

If you are out on your bike and you see one of our pop-up rides, you can ask the ride leader if you can join provided it doesn't exceed the limit set by Government. Please respect the leader's decision if you are not allowed to join.
