Ivinghoe Beacon Walk & Buddha Barge Cafe (Post VCO social)

Beat the post VCO blues with this social in the first weekend after Vegan Camp Out. If you've spent all your money at VCO then just come on the hike (for free) !

The Walk:
No need to RSVP for the walk, just turn up at the meeting point (the cafe) we will wait 10 minutes for latecomers but if you arrive at 11.11am we will have embarked. Sorry to be so strict (!) - if a disaster happens and you're really running late due to unforeseen circumstances, then message me on WhatsApp and I will send you the route so you can catch up with us!

Please bring weatherproof clothing. The hike will still go ahead if its raining. If its gale force winds & torrential rain then the hike will be postponed but its just inclement (British) weather come and brave it with us! You'll feel so much better for doing so!

Dogs (obvs well behaved dogs) are welcome on the hike and in the cafe too.

Buddha Barge Cafe:
There are only spaces for 12 people in the narrowboat so I must be very strict with the RSVPs and ask only those who have RSPV-ed on Meet-Up to attend. If you find you're unable to come please adjust your RSVP so someone else might be able to come. (No need to RSVP for the walk, just turn up!)

UPDATE: So since John and I went to Buddha barge for a test run we’ve seen they have outdoor seating that’s weatherproof with cover from rain and outdoor heaters

I’m hopeful there will be nice weather - it will be first weekend in August
They can hold 12 inside and 20 outside so I’ll open up the Meetup spots to be 32

If it does end up being a high number of attendees then the restaurant owners will ask us to pre-order (they will send menus) as there’s only limited space in their kitchen

If you are just coming for the walk (or have spent all your money at vco!!) no need to rsvp

It’s the first weekend after vco so I’m expecting many people to be broke lol !
