A bit later than I intended but I’ve been away for 10 days and rather busy since I got back late on Monday.

So, there’s a field trip to Goldcliff on the E side of Newport on Tues next week, 25th Apr. Not sure how it happened but this is the same day as the GBC AGM which is in the evening [as per the website]. Hence I’m not going to make this a full day as I have a few things to prepare for the AGM. High tide is at around 10 a.m. so as it’s a weekday I suggest meeting at Goldcliff at around 9 a.m. depending on rush hour traffic.

For those that haven’t been there the Grid Ref is ST356836 and parking is either on the LH verge by the orange arrow in the map below, or there is some parking down the track opposite over a rather sharp hump back bridge, and it will be muddy if it has rained.

As it’s a weekday I hope it won’t be too busy as space is limited in the hides and on the viewing areas. Depending on the response I may have to call a halt to bookings if numbers start to get too high, so it’ll be first come first served. Obv I can’t stop people going of their own accord.

Let me know by email if you intend coming. I can’t offer any lifts as Whithcurch in Cardiff would be a nightmare to get to for me in the morning, but if you’re a Penarthian then let me know. John W
