Fart Boy - 21-10-2007 at 19:17

Any one around this week or planning anything as I have the week off. There has got to be some wind somewhere.

2nd half of the week could be OK for some wind in the estuary at the moment, but nothing definite.

I'm off to Tiree on Weds, for a long weekend.

There's a couple of spaces in the cottage but you'll have to sort your own transportation now.

There'd better be some wind there.....?

Im off to cornwall Friday for the weekend, 900 students to give lessons to at the student event, you can launch kites for me if you want Mark!


Fart Boy - 22-10-2007 at 07:54

Thanks for the kind offer Shem but I will pass on that one. With 900 students I'm sure there will be some groupie thar will help!

justal - 23-10-2007 at 13:23

Wind in the estuary has gone now.... but it did get up to around 25 knots for an hour or so today.

Weekend does look exciting though... Shame I have a 3yr olds birthday party to go to!... I'm sure I'll fit a sail in though.

the weekend is looking really promising. About bloody time.

Just had a week in devon and not a breath of wind.


badexcuseforasailor - 23-10-2007 at 14:17

Im sure it will be windy at the weekend Ive arranged to go to Afan mountain biking, nearly got blown away last time I was there


Fart Boy - 24-10-2007 at 19:46

Well in the end we made a last minute change of plan and went to Oxwich Bay in the Gower. Cracking place. Parking right on the beach and a hotel serving good food and beer.

Missed the best of the wind Tues but Wed was out on the 11 sonic till lunch on full depower then it started to drop off.

Getting ready for a possible trip to Dovey the weekend after seing the forecast.

Dunk, sorry I could not find you number else I would have give you a call.


dunk - 25-10-2007 at 16:33

Don't worry dude, I was out in the estuary anyway.

I windsurfed Oxwich many moons ago, from what I remember it was a nice part of the country.


Fart Boy - 25-10-2007 at 17:55

Oxwich is ideal and a very nice part including the drive down. Def going back

Hi Loxley.

If you're camping on the beach, keep an eye on the wet stuff. It's a spring type tide this weekend so it may take up a lot of beach.
