About the event
When there is a low tide, the Moon faces the Earth at a right angle to the Sun so the gravitational force of the Moon and Sun work against each other. These tides are referred to as neap tides; a low tide or one that is lower than average. We're going to celebrate this with a walk over to the shingle island and have a game of something together! Apparently, word has it that cricket was once played on this little island in years gone by to celebrate the neap tide, as is still done in some places around the UK with a similar island that gets fully uncovered allowing people to walk across once a year. We'll figure out what game we play, but the point of it all is just a bit of fun really. So whether you want to just walk across and watch, have a dip…
