What time does it start and finish...?
The demo boyz usually get to Aberdovey around 9am and WILL need an hour or so to rig up and get ready, so if you can be patient and
give them till 10ish before you dive in to try the latest toyz - it would be really helpful. As the nights are drawing in the demo
action will stop around 5ish, then once all the kit has been packed away it's off to the Aberdovey Inn for beer and food. On the Sunday
depending on the wind conditions we usually pack up a bit earlier at 4pm.
See you there.

Sounds good Al.
I think I'll be venturing over for the weekend to Dyfi. I've not been windsurfing for over a year so it'll be good to give it a bash
again.
what's this windsurfing lark thought it had died out!!

Hope there will be more wind than last year. It was great weather, but not enough to launch a kite let alone a windsurfer..
if the last month is any thing to go by therell be fark all wind any way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has to make up for it sometime.... Fingers crossed.
Al.
So what do you reckon Al. Wind at the moment doesn't look too promising for Saturday but Sundays looking good.
Will you be sailing across for the demo then for a bit of novelty? It will be the eco friendly way to travel. A downwinder in a SW. Be
interesting tacking back if the wind dies though.
I'm staying in Dyfi for the weekend.
Jonny
wonder if theyll bring the sup's with them this time? Its conflicting with a comp in newgale so maybe not??
Jonny.... If there's wind I'll be there and I might sail across if it looks as though I'll be able to get back... I'm sure someone
would rescue me and give me a lift back around if I got stuck there.
Wind doesn't look great at the mo, but it does look as though there will be some wind so it hopefully won't be a complete wash-out.
Shem... I would imagine they'll have a few SUP's there.
Al.
just had it cm lining up some new toys right now!onfirmed that there will be some sups, I
I'd give you a lift back if you got stranded or we could hold you to ransome and spend a night on the ales in the dyfi inn. Not too
sure Anna would be happy with that though Al
I need your advice as well Shem if your about, some of the valves on the 1 pump system are failing on my old Trix so wouldn't mind
finding out the best resolution for fixing them. Maybe can the idea of the 1 pump system and seal the old holes on the struts and main
bladder up individually. Sounds messy though. I'll bring it along for you to have a quick look. You still on the same no.?
Will you be around after the weekend as Well Jonny.... Forecast looks pretty good for Monday at the moment.
Al.
Afraid not Al. Bit of a bummer as I gotta be back in Manchester for half 8 on Monday. Work gets in the way of everything!
WInd still looking good.... Should be a good weekend with lots of new toys to play with!
Al.
Turned out good.... Steve and I sailed from Ynyslas on the seafront on Saturday along with Adrian from the Bristol Nomads then we
headed across to Aberdyfi for a good day at the demo. Lots of people there, so good to catch up with some old faces, and lots of nice
kit to play on as well.
Al.
A cracking weekend Al. Good to catch up as well.
We climbed part of Cader Idris, we climbed up the old pony path I think heading East as the path splits at the top of the falls and
made our way a good 15 mins past that hut on top of one of the ridges.
Bad light restricted from us going any further and the rain began to set in so we called it a day. The wind was absolutely howling up
there on the ridge. I'm not really into this hiking malarky, would much rather do it on a mountain bike but still it was enough fun.
Wouldn't mind doing the full route sometime but you need a good 4 / 5 hours or so I reckon.
