I guess it must be time to start orgainsing another get together on the beach... Should we do it at Borth again or do you all fancy meeting up somewhere else? It usually ends up being Borth as it seems to have everything that everybody wants and is never too busy with tourists.

I was thinking that the beginning of Sept. would be good, maybe the weekend of 4th & 5th?

Who's up for it?

Al.

i could be persuaded... yep count me in

wouldnt be able to make that w/end (Work). The w/end after would be okay though,but unfortunatley can only make it if the forcast was reasonable! Maybe we could carry on where we left off last time i came up ...Spence

Always keen, Ill keep the weekend un booked so I can concentrate on playing!!

I'll come along

will be back from france by then and always up for a play and barbie

the BOK wil be up for it FUR SURE!!

Looks like it will be Borth for that weekend then.

There are quite a few new members here, So, for those who haven't joined us before, basically its a very informal affair where we all meet up for a weekend and indulge in our favourite Forces-of-Nature sports. So whether you windsurf, kite, kitesurf, boogie board, landsail or surf 9or anything else) come along and join us. We're all pretty friendly, its free and even if the weather gods don't look favouable on us that week, we'll still have a good time on the beach / in the pub.

For more information about the beach and village of Borth, for diections and accommodation options, read through the posts at:

Or post any questions in this thread.

Hope to see you there.

Al.

Oh, and if theres no wind, I'll do a sacrificial burning of my 2002 Fanatic Cross 100!



Al.

I'll be around for that one.

I don't want to see the board burn, but given recent winds at the FON meets, I'll bring some wood.

hmmmmm might give it a go if windy that way ,
maybe can persude the B.W.A.(barry windsurf arseholes) to come up for a South verses West race, freestyle and finally and eating and drinking comp ?

Sounds like a good idea to me! Ben was up here earlier in the month... Will he still be about, or will he be off to Australia by then??

Al.

he,s due to go anytime now (lucky sod ) aint seen him about last 2 wks , know he was looking to sell van so maybe no transport.

Yeah, its OK for some. he seemed pretty excited about the trip when i saw him. I didn't get much chance to chat to him though as it was 25 knots and sunny, and I had to rush off to get married. We did manage to encourage each other to go for a couple of forwards though.

Hopefully it will be windy enough for that on Sept. 4th and 5th and we'll get you going for them!

Al.

Cya there

Will have to see if I can beat my record of 6hrs to get home

What time are the tides? hope us puddle sailers can get out on the estuary

We hope to make an appearance on one of the days.

Lets hope the wind gods are kind ;-)

BEFS.... High tides are around midday that weekend so you should be fine.... although if theres some westerly in it we reckon its time you took on Borth seafront!!

AndyW... I hope so too, its about time they were.

Al.

BEFS, I'm with you
but I think I will probably get nagged by Al to go out on the front as well.

Don't worry... I'll only nag if its perfect conditions for you guys on the front... If theres wind and it has easterly in it I'll be in the estuary anyway...and if its big and gnarly out there I won't expect you on the seafront, but if its a nice Force 5 with surf less than 2 foot then you should be out there!!

Al.

dont forget ur kite BEFS, you'll have to have a blast on the mountain board now!

Just saw this thread whilst scrolling through the sight.
I'll be down there for the gathering, already got some beers in the fridge.
We'll have to call in at the local butchers for some potatoes!!
See you all there.

just under 3 weeks to go now... shall we start placing bets on the weather yet!?

Hope your your building the bonfire for the sacrificial burning of the cross !
May only want to burn part of it I'm not going out on the sea front if its blowing a hoolie

We'll see.... if the wind stays like it has been recently the there won't be any need to burn it at all!... It was nice today to have a nice sail with my 5.7m in conditions that weren't too mad... It didn't last long though as it soon filled in and I was hanging on as best I could!

Think I might go shopping tomorrow so that I can have some new toys to play with for the FON weekend.

Al.

Still too early to start guessing what the weather will do, but at the moment we seem to be in a classic autumn weather pattern with a High Pressure out in the Atlantic to the South West and a series of lows tracking across Scotland on a 3-4 day cycle.... If this keeps up, so should the wind!

Of course, it is still only August so it could all soon shift back to a typical summer high pressure system stuck over the UK.

Will anyone be here the week before or stay any longer the week after??

Al.

I did see you Rob..... in my wing mirror once you were behind me.

Spoke to a few people on the beach today who said they'll be down next weekend. AndyW and Jules have their accomodation booked.... Now all we need is wind like we had this weekend!... Although at the moment it isn't looking fantastic.

Al.

Im just there for the weekend as the boss is away at work and I got the keys to the factory.

This thread seams a bit quiet whos gonna be at Borth for the weekend?
If your thinking of coming its a great place even us puddle sailors can get out on the estuary if its too windy n wavey on the sea front

i dunno al, friday afternoon looks really good, hopefully it will hold out for the weekend!

i might stay a couple of days after the weekend, depends on the weather and work really!

looks like i just missed you on tuesday al, i was just leaving the beach and i drove past you in borth but it was too late to wave!

I'm bringing my windsurf kit this time in case its too much wind for kitesurfing. I guess I would be on the estuary though cause I can't do waves

Jules and I will be there for the weekend.

See you there :-)

I'll be around, as will Sarah, see you all on the beach.

looks like there will bo SOD ALL wind for this week ,
