14 August 2010: Beer festival at the Bankes Arms on Studland
Come to Dorset to spend an afternoon at a beer festival with a sea view from the Studland cliffs. Then walk back leisurely along the beach, and perhaps swim in the sea, in time for supper in Bournemouth.
The Bankes Arms beer festival runs from 12-15 August and has a selection of real ale, ciders and perries. There will be a barbecue and the pub itself also serves food. See http://www.bankesarms.com/ and http://www.bankesarmsbeerfestival.com/ for more details. We'll go on the Saturday.
If you are coming from London, meet us outside the ticket office in London Waterloo station at 08:45 for the 09:05 Weymouth train. See below for details of fares. There are often long queues at Waterloo to buy tickets so please arrive in good time or buy your ticket in advance.
Or if you want to meet us at Bournemouth, meet at the railway station outside the south entrance next to platforms 3 and 4 for the bus station at 11:00 for the 11:20 bus route 50 towards Swanage, which takes about an hour. See http://www.wdbus.co.uk/ for more information.
We aim to get to the Bankes Arms for about 12:30. I would not recommend driving there because the Swanage ferry normally has an extremely long queue in both directions (but you can instead drive around Poole Harbour via Wareham on the A351) and parking might be difficult.
We'll probably start walking back the 5 km along the beach at about 15:30. This will give us a chance to go for a dip in the sea if the weather is good and you are hardy enough. Note that a section of the beach is nudist.
We aim to catch the bus that stops at Studland at about 17:34 (for those who want to continue drinking at the beerfest) and at 17:41 from the Shell Bay ferry terminal (for those who make it to the other end of the beach), returning to Bournemouth at 18:32. (The following bus stops at Studland/Shell Bay at 18:39/18:46 and is the last bus that reaches Bournemouth in time for the 20:22 train to Waterloo.)
We might book a table for supper in a restaurant in Bournemouth for about 18:30. (Details tba.)
For those returning to London, we'll take the 20:22 train from Bournemouth, which arrives at Waterloo at 22:22. The only later trains are 21:12 (arrives 23:23) and 22:12 (arrives 01:09).
For a day return from London Waterloo to Bournemouth, the walk-up return fare is £41.70, which qualifies for discounts on a Network Railcard or the 4-for-2 offer. (The cheapest advance fares for these trains are no longer available.)
