Whiteford Sands - Beachwatch event 4 Feb 2018

Thanks for signing up for this beach clean. We will be picking a lot of rubbish off this beach at the nature reserve so come prepared to be busy.
You need to be aware of the details for this location:-
1. Wear appropriate clothing for windy, wet or very warm weather. Wind is more of a problem than rain but you need to be prepared for both. Shoes or boots are essential. No flip-flops or bare feet.
2. Bring your own food and drink should you wish to stay longer.
3. In persistent or heavy wet weather the roads will be flooded like they were in January 2018 making some of the roads impassable.
4. Car park is just outside Llanmadoc going down to Cwm Ivy. Not all of the car parking is on solid ground so be careful where you park. There is a £1 honesty box.
5. There are no facilities like toilets onsite at the beach so make sure everyone in your party goes to the toilet before you leave home.
6. There is a 45 minute walk on a flat but wet and boggy track to get to and from the beach.
7. The nature reserve encloses an old Army shooting range. To keep everybody safe, the range made up of the sandy area to the left of the track, is out of bounds to all.
8. All equipment provided – gloves, rubbish bags, litter pickers.
9. Children supervised by an appropriate and legally responsible adult are welcome.
10. Dogs are welcome as long as they are under control and all dog mess is picked up and removed.
11. Mobile networks in the area do not provide a reliable signal.
12. We will start work about an hour after high tide and finish well before the tide comes back in. We meet at the car park at 10.30. We will finish at the beach by about 2pm.
13. We are a small group of dedicated volunteers wanting to clean the beach for the good of the wildlife on land and in the sea. You will be very welcome.
