yep wind looking true easterly by then and looks to be lasting through the weekend.
will come up thursday me thinks, or maybe late wed evening.
whos about?

Neil you cant start a new weekend thread, Im still enjoying the last weekends one!

Got wednesday off, but the wind is not looking the best. How much can you add for an easterly wind? May be up for the weekend if it improves

Double it, maybe more but ya never can really tell!

only seems to be showing 8-9knots for the weekend now ( lunchtime tuesday ), so if shems 'double it' rule works 18+ may be worth a drive over.

Hmmm I've been wanting to experience this. I may pop down Friday / Saturday.

Me too. Where do you go to enjoy such delights as an easterly?

Behind Borth on the estuary? Or Dovey side?

Ynyslas side is better as it gets the full force of the E-NE's whereas Dovey is a little sheltered... But, there is lots of work going on on the beach at Ynyslas so there isn't much room for launching and landing and little access to the water at the moment.

Al.

So who's Dyfi bound for kiting ?

Not sure if my biking skills are up to you regular MTB'ers so although I could do with the exercise I dont want to be dragging along miles behind.

It's either that or sorting the garden ready for it to be ignored for springtime !

steady Mark MTB sounds like hard work to me far easier on the water. i will be over dovey side in the main car park going down this evening. Tim assures me that there is no safety margin for launching at ynyslas side now with all the work going on there. nice pub on dovey the Britannia inn ,got some good real ale, ask Tony about it!

Neil,

Beware in the main car park, as J de Hat almost got a ticket last week for overnight parking.

Dunk

So was J.d.H's 'almost' ticket due to not buying one ( I have been guilty of the same at Dovey ) or because the "overnighting" is banned ?

If not permitted, is the car park opposite the petrol station/spar shop still available ?

Im keen for a sail at dyfi tommorow. Think Ive worked enough this week already! You could always park the vans down next to the train station, (free and no time limit), then just walk over the caravan park and hey presto SEA!!!!

We should be there Friday night.

Hows Ivor been behaving this week Shem / Justal?

I may pop down tomorrow and Saturday if it's been a good Ivor.

Checking tide times for lagoons.

Ivor was in full force this morning...30-40 knots at Ynyslas, but has eased off to around 20 knots now.

Al.

So given the 'green' nature of last weekends forum posting, how likely are we to see some 'kiteable' wind at Dyfi this saturday/sunday ?

Its a long drive and over £60 of fuel to get there to sit on the beach ( as lovely as it is ).

If Ivor is playing ball, will we still be seeing 20knots by the weekend ?

The weekend doesnt look as good as today and friday, Id wait and make it a last minuite descision if I where you.

Think I'll give it a blast early doors tomorrow. Low tide is at 9ish.

Anyone else about

well Ive jibbed out. 25-30 knots and a wind chill of minus 4 isnt doing it for me. Hopefully tomorrow will be warmer!

Just been out to check it on this side and it is 40 knots and bloody freezing!



Al.

You are painting a rosy picture which is making me so excited about loading up the old van tomorrow night ! NOT !

Think I will have a C.O.D.4 session instead this weekend and try and get a few more points on my score.

Agreed. could end up with a proper ice cream headache with those temperatures.

a rethink and weather watch perhaps.

Good old Ivor.... Been up to his tricks as usual, Not quite so strong today, but still reached 30-35 knots.

Al.
