From: Priya Raman, course organizer
Subject: Saturday: we are not meeting at the department
The coach company has lost its permit for the loading bay behind the department, so Saturday starts somewhere else. Be at the north end of the market square at seven. The coach will be the white one with a blue stripe, and it will not wait past ten past seven, because the tide at the first site turns at eleven. Bring boots you have already walked in. Two people last year borrowed new ones the night before and spent the second day in the coach. There is no shop at either site. Bring lunch and more water than you think you need. If you are ill on the day, send me a message rather than simply not coming. We count heads before we leave each site, and a missing name holds everyone up.
