I can get me boat within a mile or so of the beacon Shaun, If you give us a lift up the hill, you can stay on board with us

Hi Gary
Will you have your car with you or would you like a lift from the canal at Pitstone (the nearest point to the Beacon), because it's one hell of a walk. I did it before Christmas with the dogs and it was a 45 minute walk each way.

Hi Gary,
That's very kind but in-between me asking and you offering, I've got sorted out.
It will be brilliant if you can make it there. Aquatic mobile homes.. they're the future...

Mike,
I doubt I'll have a car, I plan on going to the 'flying aces' comp in Peterborough at the end of August so a nice cruise down to Pitstone would only take around 10 days or so then we'll accept any help we can get thanks.
It's gone a bit quiet - is all still going ahead? forecast looks possible if a little light (8 mph westerly)
Don't suppose any kind soul could give me a lift from tring / cheddington station? (6 mins by car on google maps - but 1hr 18 by foot!)
I flew my Zietgeist last week - first time in 43 years... bit of attic rash but nothing Lidl tape couldn't patch. Not sure if I could get it there but might go for a high speed depron clone 2/3 size
I will be coming with other half and granddaughter who will use the opportunity to do some serious dog walking. Although I am a "Southerner", I have never been to Ivinghoe so can anyone tell me where the car park is with respect to the slopes. At this stage the forecast is for a sunny day with very light (5Kts) Easterlies. So is the car park at the top or the bottom and how far is it to the slopes..... I have to ask because it could make a difference to our catering arrangements and how much extra I have to cram into my rucksack in addition to two trannies, and a tool kit!
