Hi all, Im making a visit from Bristol to stay with a friend in Arthog just south of Barmouth. Will be going next weekend if the wind looks good otherwise soon as. Can anyone give me some good allround places (tidal wise),in this area. I am very amature have just started to go along on the board. Much appreciated.

you could try Fairbourne but keep away from the harbour mouth particularly on big tides. Or you could come down the Aberdovey. There is always a good crew around if there is wind and wil work in all directions from S round to N. There are also some good lagoons depaending on the tide.

Tide and wind can be found here:

I'm not having one of those Hulks again. Far to much going on in one glass I think.

It was a good pre celibration of my birthday though. My actual birthday night (Tuesday) was spent recovering from my op oh and the attention of three nurses putting me back into bed after they forgot to point out my left leg may still be a little numb. Which became rather evident as I tried to go to the toilet
