PierCrawl organiser Chris Foote-Wood (here at Sandown Pier IOW) says:
Extra fun when you visit any Seaside Pier! The more Piers you visit, the greater your PIerCrawl naval rank. VISITING A MINIMUM OF THREE PIERS qualifies you as a Midshipman PierCrawler, 5 = Lieutenant PierCrawler etc up to Admiral. ENTRY IS FREE. After visiting at least 3 Piers you can apply for your Certificate (£2 including postage). Here's what you do:1. Apply for your PierCrawl ENTRY FORM (free) either by email HERE, OR send sae to PIERCRAWL, 28 Cockton Hill Road, Bishop Auckland, Co. Durham DL14 6AH. OR pick up a form from any "Participating Pier."
2. Visit at least three UK Seaside Piers (most have free entry)

There are 55 Seaside Pleasure Piers still in existence around the coasts of England & Wales. In 2007, author Chris Foote Wood visited all 55 (plus one on the Isle of Man). All these wonderful piers are lovingly described and illustrated in Chris's new book "WALKING OVER THE WAVES - Quintessential British Seaside Piers" to be published by Whittles Publishing in May 2008. Over 200 photographs, old & new. Order your signed copy of "Walking over the Waves" NOW by clicking HERE.
