Hi Neil.

We will be driving over friday night to Pwllheli, so if it's looking like a kiting weekend may well come down to BRS to join you in the morning.

can we camp on the beach at this time of year ?

What's the forecast doing anyway ?

In theory I could come down in the boat, but I am not sure how long it would take and have only just played around in the bay up to Abersoch at present.

I'm free to go kiting again at last.

Hope to see you there Saturday. I'll need some pointers on the area from you guys if that's OK.

Low tide about 4ish in the afternoon I think

hi Mark. dont say we are at last going to see you new, now older van at last!!!! would come in the boat ,all sorts of sand bars around. we always park up on the beach, usually at the end close to the golf course, where you have stayed before.....................watch out for the soft sand!!

see you either very late tonight or first thing in the morning then !

Not got my tide table book with me, but calculating from Liverpool. Am i correct in thinking high tide is forecast for about 10.15 in the morning ?

Yeah I think so

I see the forecast might be OK tomorrow (cross fingers) but the wind is forecast to switch to a northerly on Sunday

this might help too

cant find any northerly in any forcast; all sse/s


Noo Noo - 4-6-2007 at 06:56

yeah that changed.

Did anyone manage to get out. I had a look but thought conditions were a little light. Got some funny looks from the warden as I drove in too. typically I think it picked up later in the afternoon.

Nothing happened on the saturday. We just sat and watched the chavski riders tarting around.
We played boules and Neil generally won although I snatched a few wins with my 'marble' technique.
Neil did get a downwind session late in the afternoon, but otherwise it was a windless day.
Fingers crossed for this weekend.

Wind picked up here in Borth for a while... got to 20 knots early in the afternoon...

I was up in the hills though so didn't get out on the water either.
