Meet in the car park at 10:30am. There’s a visitors centre and toilets. It’s an interesting site and apparently if its sunny its particularly good for infrared. We’ll stay there for 2 hours and then adjourn to the Café by the Creek for lunch (seating inside and out) which is just 5 minutes drive away. For those that want to, there is a nice walk by the side of the creek from there too. It’s part of the Saxon Shore Way. Oare bird reserve is only 10 minutes drive but you have to pay for parking there. So you can do as much as you want to on this trip.
