After Christmas, many Tristanians move to The Patches to spend time in their camping huts during the rest of the long summer break. Nearby Runaway Beach is one of the few safe places to play in the water, and also a good place for a spot of recreational fishing. Five Finger and Tristan potatoes make wonderful fish and chips.
