A map showing the Reiss beach stretch plotted on it

We hope that we have the times right, but can't see the tides that far ahead.  We can always change the time later.   This event is part of the Global Climate Change Week.  We will have some equipment for you, but maybe bring warm clothing, as it can be pretty chilly.  If it is too cold, or even if it isn't maybe we will repair to the Wick Golf Club for a dram.

Beach stretch details

Reiss beach is a couple of miles down the Moray Firth Trail and is often overlooked, so we thought we would try Reiss instead.  Miles of golden sand, but often in the winter when the tide is right up there is no beach at all.

Also worth knowing…

What to bring: We’d recommend you pack a rucksack with a few essentials like sunscreen, waterproofs, hand sanitiser, and perhaps some snacks and a drink (in a reusable bottle, of course).

What to wear: If you're picking up litter with your hands it's worth wearing a strong pair of gloves - like gardening gloves - just to make sure you're protected. Sturdy shoes are a must for protection too.

Under 16s: To comply with our insurance, volunteers under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult who will be asked to sign a parental / guardian consent form on the day by the beach clean organiser. 

14 spaces remaining - join us on the beach whilst there’s still spaces!
