half term approaches; well maybe not quite yet but it will be here on friday the 19th october and i am heading down to penzance for the week. i will be going down late friday evening to miss the rush and snoozing on the front at marazion beach for free. its usually still shorts and t shirt weather down there and more reliable wind than over the summer months. for those that just want to stay for free you can park up on the front at marazion beach, note if you use the car park by the cafe you will be charged £5 so mosey along about 20 mtrs and its free. there are 2 really good and cheap camp sites i have used; one above st ives called trevalgen and the other on the helston road called kennegy cove( this one has a nice pub just up the road in walking distance). beaches to kitesurf are many dependant on direction of said wind; marazion, the bluff at hayle and gwithian not forgetting sennon cove for those big waves!!!!!
see youz there

Considering joining you this year Neil as I have a surplus of annual leave to use. Will check it out with my Manager tomorrow and let you know

me too dude its as good as booked

Cracking idea Neil. I'm meant to be goin down round about then but only got 2 days leave so gonna hopefully make a long weekend of it

Maybe a long weekend for me too, see how busy work is nearer the time,

I might see you there.

I've got a job in Falmouth during the week prior so may already be there. If I can get a gate pass that is. I've already got one for the following weekend for a trip to Tiree......

anyone mention Tiree.............next may? ferry might be well booked with all the vans going up.

i'll probably be in EL Gouna for the week, just sorting stuff out now...wife actually sugested it, she wants to go....and leave the kids at home, she wants me to kite while she studies for her MA..

be awfully rude not too

Col - is that w/c 19th Oct that you're thinking of going to el Gouna?

mmmmm.....


now there's a thought

but there aint no waves and there aint NO BEER!!!!

Hi Neil,

will hope to join you from the friday night until the tuesday.

Mark

thats me all bokked, i'll see you there if my camper makes it!!

just thought i would remind all you peeps it only 2 weeks away. i will be leaving very late friday night as Rentia is working and it will allow me to avoid getting stuck in the rush.
aim to be at Marazion beach on the front there first light saturday snoozing............we can all decide where to kite wind direction dependant; fingers crossed for a S or SW then we stay there. there are 2 sites which i have looked at on the net and stopped there many times for those occasions when you need showers/water empty tiolets etc.
