Its gotta be Borth!!

There will be a few others out kiting as well, so you won't be alone. When you get into Borth from Aber, head North through the village and out through the Golf Course. You'll come to a tiny place called Ynyslas. When the road bears off to the right, theres a triangle of grass. Don't follow the road around to the right, but go straight on. Then immediately turn left just past the bus stop into the car park. Theres a height restriction on the car park of 2.1m... if you have a van and can't fit under it then let me know and I'll sort something out. Once in the car park head to the far northern end and thats where we usually park.

I might not be there Saturday as I have to put up a shed, but if I see a kite I could head over for a bit. Also, the winds may be NE on Sat afternoon in which case the estuary would be a better location. Instead of turning into the car park in the above directions just carry straight on and you'll end up on the sands of the estuary. The sands there can be a bit soft, but the wind will be better if its NE.
Sunday looks OK too for the seafront side at the moment though, if theres wind I'll be there.

For the surf then Borth can be OK too... depends on the swell and the wind direction of course, but there may be something around.
