W/End 21/22 Oct
Following an absolutely crackin weekend in the estury at Ynyslas, I'm feeling full of enthusiasm for the coming weekend. Just checked
the forcast and Sat is looking good at the moment, Sun marginal. However, you all know how the borth effect can bung a few extra Knts
onto the predicted forcasts so who's out and where.
Anyone joining neil in Cornwall? Long drive but nice for a change.

Its been far to long since I sailed with the posse. If the forecast is ok I will try to make saturday.
What are the tides doing at the weekend, will the lagoons be useable ?

I'm with Neil, Blackrock looking good possible 20knots Saturday and good tides too. Winds all over the place everywhere else, could be
very interesting cos there is going to be a low pressure sweeping across over the weekend, wouldn't mind betting on stronger winds that
what is being predicted. Looking at all the forecasts (MET, BBC & XC) none seem to entirely agree to wind strength or direction,
but South and SSW seem to be the most consistant
Who's coming

Mmmmm - might be up for it, but 20 knots sounds like it'll be a bit rough, so maybe I'll stay at home and iron my kites instead

Soooooooo..... in 20 knots+ the man with the Big Butch Buell (see FoN Hogs thread) irons his kites eh ? 
By the way Spooks, for some reason your bike picky has disappeared.....

gratification!

mark take the first left pass the spar shop to beach and park up on the beach .beware of soft sand and make sure you are above the tide
mark, should no problem as it is a very low tide only 4mtrs. we will all be there so you will see the vans.

Thats true Paul - Jon hasn't got a very good record at Blackrock - got to know some of the local RNLI peeps rather well last summer.
I'd be down over the weekend to keep an eye on him
