Weekend 26/27
So....
the million dollar question is...
despite the banter in other threads, will anyone actually be at the coast this weekend?
Its going to be silly cold, tho possibly sunny on sat. Sounds like a daft proposition really, but then I haven't been on the water for
at least 2 weeks. I'm currently planning on being down fri nite, with a LOT of gas for the heater!

I will be here.... And if I feel any better than I do at the mo I shall be out playing too!
The wind has swung around to the NW already and the temp reached 8C at one point today.
See you at the weekend.

am up for a trip dying to get on the water after 3 weekends at home! bit worried about a huge dump of snow whist we are there and
getting Norman back home through it, if it comes. will decide later in the week if i come for the weekend ;ie friday evening ,or just
for the day on saturday with Col.
if we have huge dump of snow here might as well go snow kiting here! we will have to see.
need to get that board and boots up to you Chris and make sure they fit etc.
sorry to be so vague guys, got my dry suit to try out too! and my inflatable canoe!

Neil, where's good for snow kiting, been getting the snowboarding sorted recently and its the obvious next step . .
Hope the Borth crew are all well, I having to sample some south coast destinations at the mo. If anyone has any good beach suggestions

beautiful morning but cold and snowy. may venture out for a session on the water. haven't been out for a while.
or may stay in and watch DVDs. the hills look like they have a bit of snow on them. aberdovey looks like it got more.
so who's gonna brave it if the wind picks up.

ok AL / Chris; is there much snow on the roads and will i get over the hills with Norman? there needs to be deep snow on the hills for
me to bring the snow board. is the wind looking too northerly for the water?
will make the final decision this evening.

Some of the roads are quite bad, but the main raods should be OK... It is pretty warm and sunny here at the moment so the snow should
melt quite quickly I would imagine.
There isn't really enough snow in the hills for snowboarding.
There is absolutely NO WIND AT ALL at the moment, and yes it is looking pretty Northerly for Saturday.
Will keep you updated if anything changes!
