Well no-one has started a thread about this yet, so I will. Having a rubbish day at work and need something to look forwards to.

So,
whose up for the weekend? I have to say the wind looks a bit iffy, every time I look at a weather site is seems to bear no relation to the last look.

Probably be up sat/sun if I can glue my 12m back together.


Um

might just come up friday evening as ren is working and saves getting up early saturday.

Old Hunstanton sat and Brannie sun might be your best bet.

Where did you go last sunday Spooks? You missed an awsome session at Dovey point. Boosted my bigest air to date!

Not this weekend, still trying to get my back sorted. Also need to get my 10m down to Cygnus for a bit of surgery. Hope the wind sorts itself for you lot.

Be back soon!!!

Hi Jon,

took a wrong turn in Mach on sun (on auto pilot), and decided to keep on going and work on me van sun PM.

And yeh - I heard you got lofted a couple of times

Not sure bout e coast, gotta drive to n yorkshire 2mrw on business, won't be back till quite late, and the prospect of another 3+ hours behind the wheel ain't appealing. 4cast for Borth isn't brill, but they've been so wrong of late, probably just go anyway.


mNeil - 11-11-2005 at 11:38

going to borth, wind could be good re the direction and it usually sea breezes; dont fancey the mud at huni and ne in the estuary should be funnelled.
will be up saturday early unless the bok goes up tonight.


justal - 11-11-2005 at 12:20

Don't think you'll get any sea-breeze effect at this time of year Neil... Air temps are lower than the sea temp.

Yeh Spooks, more of a 50 yard drag than a loftin mate. Couldnt scrub the speed off when the squal hit so i kicked the board off, an just let myself body drag. Pulled my safety 10 YDS from shore. Phew... yet another hairy moment. Still, it bhad the same effect on all the other C kiters, unlike the lucky few on the sonics.

Still... was about due a break and once it passed I was back out and boostin the biggest air i'd ever managed.

General consensus was 'must do dovey a bit more often' an big smiles all round, especialy from the sonic crew. Or was that smug smiles and comments such as what squal!!!

The future is bright.... the future is bowkite!!! But not till next season for me


jon d hat - 11-11-2005 at 20:55

Oh yeh and may only be doin Brannie on sunday now, will have to see, if so, will be in the 'pound fer kuytsoorfin' carpark bout 9ish

Blowing a hoolie here at the moment and just about to get light, so I'm off to the beach.

Didn't get out yesterday as there was no-one around and it was far to mad up here to go out with no-one else on the beach and although it was low tide the wind and low pressure meant the water was too high for a session at the lifeboat station. Still, its nice to have a few days off now and then.
