Encee - 19-2-2008 at 19:38

Unusual........... it's Tuesday and no one posted anything yet for this coming weekend

Currently looks like it might be a decent Southerly.

Anyone likely to be heading to Blackrock or Newborough...............?


Fart Boy - 19-2-2008 at 20:04

Well this and the following weekend you are going to have loads of wind as I'm overseas on business and it's always the bloody same. Have fun.


Dandine - 19-2-2008 at 20:31

shem - 19-2-2008 at 22:05

jon d hat - 19-2-2008 at 23:01

Wind not looking that good for the weekend..poss for sunday. Probably be on the Mtb sat at least if anyones up for a pedal...not sure where yet.


col123 - 20-2-2008 at 09:27

porthmadog looks ok for sat..18mph


Loxley - 20-2-2008 at 13:43

I still haven't picked up a tide timetable for the year yet. Anyone know what they will be for this weekend at BRS ?

Just deciding if its worth driving over friday night or early saturday morning.


Spooker - 20-2-2008 at 14:13

Mark - check easytide - free predictions for 6 days in advance.... http://easytide.ukho.gov.uk


Loxley - 20-2-2008 at 17:07

cheers for that spooks.
thats a really useful site.

anyway, for any others interested here are the weekends High tide times....

Sat 23 Feb
HW HW
09:49 22:06
5.2 m 5.0 m

Sun 24 Feb
HW HW
10:20 22:38
5.1 m 4.8 m

So looks doable from 10am onwards which should at least give the sun an hour or 2 to warm up before hitting the surf.


dunk - 20-2-2008 at 19:22

Hey peeps,

I'll be sailing at Borth from tomorrow, through till Sunday..............

Dunk


Noo Noo - 20-2-2008 at 19:32

I'll pop down to BRS. No kiting for me as I've got my little'un but I'll say hello.


Spooker - 21-2-2008 at 08:36

Weekend starts tomorrow - so whats the consensus?

Friday looking good Borth and BRS - 15-18 knots SW, so might be joining Dunk in Borth.

Sat still largely SW 14-15 knots in Borth. tailing off in PM, couple of knots more in BRS.

Sun coming round to Southerlies and looking pretty pants - unless you want to travel as far as Rhossy!

Think I might do Borth tomorrow, then either stay there or travel to BRS Fri evening depending on what others are up to??


Loxley - 21-2-2008 at 09:17

Well BRS seems a firmer bet for the 'normal' weekenders !
But I cant get there until first thing saturday morning, hence the enquiry about the tide times.

How much longer are we still able to camp on the beach ? Is it 1st March or Easter ? Anyone know ?


col123 - 21-2-2008 at 13:45

i'm up for borth on sat..wind looks better all the time...got some new toys to try in a decent wind i hope


jon d hat - 21-2-2008 at 16:39

Defo looking worth the trip now. I will be setting off this evening and possibly dropping in on the Dunkmeister for a beer on the way. Kitesurf Fri and Sat, probably hook up with Graham for an MTB trail on Sunday...If the weather stays the same. See you all on the water


shem - 21-2-2008 at 17:23

Im busy tommorow, but am keen for sat and my clients for lessons just cancelled, sweet! may even come ocer to the dark side for a change


Encee - 21-2-2008 at 18:28

BRS for me for the day on Saturday........

Hopefully there should be others about too.


Loxley - 22-2-2008 at 08:56

Well the wind in Derbyshire certainly picked up overnight. Hope you have it at the coast.
Will be over to Borth saturday morning.


shem - 22-2-2008 at 17:41

Looks good for kiting tommorow now, wheres the general concensus to go then???? Im not going to Brs, so I may head to Borth is dyfi side is empty, hhmmm!


justal - 22-2-2008 at 18:20

There's a downhill MTB race in Clarach on Sunday if anyone is interested.

Al.


mNeil - 22-2-2008 at 19:20

will be up borth in the morning with Col, see youz on the beach


Spooker - 22-2-2008 at 20:07

Good session this afternoon, me, Dunk, Jon d Hat and John out. Started at 20 knots, but most of the afternoon it was 12-14 I guess. Mostly SSW despite the forcast - ideal 13m Edge weather!!


Si_B - 22-2-2008 at 20:31

Myself and Liam are coming down to Dovey Sat if anyones about ??.

Cheers,

Simon


shem - 22-2-2008 at 22:13

trap anyone????


shem - 23-2-2008 at 12:34

Well mid day and the winds usuless, gutted, shame as there was a good turn out of the borth massive. Never mind at least I blagged a pick up load of oak logs on the way home where they were clearing the lines at glandyfi, so alls not wasted!


mNeil - 23-2-2008 at 20:37

oh Shem you went too early; 11.45 in came a few squalls and the wind, out on my 11 till about 3.00; admit i would have been easier with the 13 but was well powered at times.
Col was out on the 14, tony on the 13 and Darren hung on to his 18, whilst Chris and Mike were out on the 11 sonics and whoosh eventually went out on the 13 and Dunk was going on his 12 i think as we left.
enjoy the wood but remember wood alcohol also sends yo blind!


shem - 24-2-2008 at 00:19

Doh never mind!


Si_B - 24-2-2008 at 01:25

Very little wind in Dovey....work that one out ??.
