danh - 26-2-2008 at 08:37

Anybody out in dyi this weekend? Gonna make every effort to get over on Saturday for the day, it looks promising at the mo.

Feels like its been about 6 months since i got out.


mNeil - 26-2-2008 at 09:32

will be up borth friday evening Dan; wind looking good for the weekend.
ps. not getting wet this weekend please!


crut - 26-2-2008 at 13:23

I'll probably be coming along for a jaunt at the weekend

Got a new 8m kite to try


Fart Boy - 26-2-2008 at 16:26

Well just looked at the wind you guy;s are curently enjoying and the forecast for the weekend. As predicted I'm gutted as the wind gods are performing. They are even performing here in China at present so I'm doubly gutted.

One consollation is the company is getting my beer tab!

Roll on the 8 & 9th when I hope the gods will play again and I'm down for a weekender.

Have fun


Dandine - 26-2-2008 at 18:08

Count me in, will be good to see you there danh, for once. I think neil is making a reference to rescuing me the other weekend. lol.
Sunday is looking better than sat now. Either way I'm catered for on both days due to my new bike


shem - 26-2-2008 at 18:30

Im keen, may have a few toys to play with??!!


mNeil - 26-2-2008 at 18:31

tooo may Dans for me to cope!


Spooker - 26-2-2008 at 20:16

Just another of those 'senior moments' Neil - keep taking the cod liver oil


Dandine - 26-2-2008 at 20:33

Is that the voice of experience?


shem - 26-2-2008 at 22:23

Saturday looking good then, High tide 2ish and a small one at that. Im gonna get in 9ish, probably at the lagoons, or maybe from the car park, always a nice lazy winter option going from there.


jon d hat - 26-2-2008 at 23:04

well I am off thursday to sunday so I'm thinking of doing Jacobs ladder (mtb ride in Derbyshire) on thursday. Should be interesting.

Be up Friday eveningl for a Kitesurfing weekend, looks like the winds in for the duration..If the present forecast is to be beleived.

Considering a night ride (mtb's) if anyone is up for it possibly summit trail, not decided yet.


Dandine - 26-2-2008 at 23:46

Should have my new headtorch for some night time MTB action


shem - 27-2-2008 at 08:11

Im keen for a night ride, just not on Friday, (Note:- watch out for stray bullets if night riding around Dyfi, lol). See yo on the weekend then. The rain forcast for Friday is terrible John, could be nasty!


danh - 27-2-2008 at 08:19

looks like im gonna have to get me a new bike aswell. Should never have sold my Kona.

I'll be down at the lagoons by 8ish, give me a txt though if your jumping in from the car park shem and ill join you there.

New toys you say, dont show them to me i cant spend another penny


danh - 27-2-2008 at 08:25

Think i've missed this little story dan. What happened?

Are you going for the weekend mate? I'll give you a bell later


Spooker - 27-2-2008 at 08:27

Jon you'll find Jacobs ladder quite challanging. Mind you - no walking! its all doable, even if like me you have to rest (several times!) on the way up.


kiteboardingcrazy - 27-2-2008 at 13:37

yep im up for it ,be nice to see you all again


dunk - 27-2-2008 at 15:17

Bugger,

I'll be stuck in a Rescue boat looking after 29er Fleet training.

I may have time for a windsurf though

Have fun


Fart Boy - 27-2-2008 at 17:14

Shem, don't worry Dan's always got money for new toy's. And if he does he will be getting me a beer to keep quiet next time I se the wife. Well nearly wife ah!

Got that Shem.. was thinking sat evening..maybe just a spin round pendam before a few jars. let me know if your up for it.

Dan.. is your head torch bright enough? mine just about does the job an it's 270 lumens

Yeh, Ive only read about it. Have been wanting to give it a shot for some time now. Looks like an awsome peddal


Encee - 27-2-2008 at 19:02

Wow.........got another pass for this weekend.
If the current forcast holds will make the trip to Borth for Saturday.

On another note................
Jacobs Ladder is a great bike route.

If you've got the Peak District MTB guide there are some really good routes with a mix of terrain.

Definitely recommend the Ladybower and Glossop circles.

Baslow is another good route with a nice 'sting in the tale'

Put aside a day for each though !!!


chris - 27-2-2008 at 20:02

i may be up for a night ride on saturday.


shem - 27-2-2008 at 21:17

Just remembered I have a wedding on saturday night, spewin, may do a Friday ride if anyones keen??


col123 - 27-2-2008 at 22:05

it'll probably be an excellent windy weekend, just as me and nick will be doing the all day sat play about on enduro bikes with a 2.3 to 3 hr race on sunday PM..

shem - 27-2-2008 at 22:35

Noo Noo - 29-2-2008 at 08:52

good stuff Mark. Wind still looks good for Saturday. Yahoo.

Phil can you make it?

The thought of giving Harlech a go had crossed my mind. Ok its a walk over the dunes but the wind would pretty straight on shore. Big long blasts up and down the beach

shem - 3-3-2008 at 18:40

Saturday was certanly epic at Aberdyfi as well Neil, 9 meter powerd to start then well powered on the 13 afterwards. Top stuff, glad Wills kite made it over to Borth for him to collect as well.


Kitefish - 3-3-2008 at 22:40

That was one top weekend, it was a party on and off the water

Neil are we becoming the Champagne Massif now, it must be our age

Is one kiting next weekend- guffaw (posh lol)

Or maybe the Champagne Pikeys


shem - 3-3-2008 at 23:04

was it actually champagne or just sparkling white?? yom yom
