Pevensey Bay, sunshine & wind & lots of people out though when I got there early doors it was a bit misty, wind was bottom end of F4 and i was billy no-mates

Rigged 9.8m GTX & plugged into FW1.5 formula kit as hadn\'t used it for ages and if anything gaurantees wind filling in, me going out on big kit normally does the trick.

Sure enough, got approx 45 mins on that before feeling the feeling and came in to rig 7.0m GTX & Hyper-X 115, just as PaulP & Richard arrived. Got couple hours on that before a few more people started to rock up, all having different tales of roadwork detour confusement.

Wind dropped off as tide turned then came back enough to encourage another rigging session so 5.6m Remedy & 3S 97 got an outing. Wind was a bit up and down for me on the 5.6m so after a while it was exec decision time and back out on the 7.0m / Hyper-X until a weakend boom front end sensation suggested heading back in a little \'gently\' to de-rig that one.

Eventually, it seemed sensible to pack up and head for home ... just as gutted rocked up having been tormented by yours truly all day with reports of increasing winds each time i\'d rigged a different smaller set up.

Nice day and made a change to have such a busy beach for forumites everywhere Nice to meet you all, see you next NE\'ly or at White-Air p\'raps
