Hi all!
I'm new here so I thought I'd introduce myself. I've been sponging for about a year now and have a few questions if anyone can answer
them?
Living in manchester I make the weekly trek to the coast most weekends with Hells Mouth (when its going off)being the most frequent. I
also do the long blast down to Devon frequently.
Does anyone know of any other beachs in North Wales that would be sheltered when Hells is blown out? I've tried Porth Ceiriad and Porth
Oer, but i'd be interested if there are any others.
Also has anyone been in Llangennith
lately? The last time I was there (about 8 months ago) the sewage was terrible with human "left-overs" left on the beach as the tide
went out! Is it any better?
Bye for now!

Hi Thodd, good to have you on board here.
Have you taken a look at the beachguide on this site?? It has descriptions of almost all the beaches in North Wales, so may suggest a
few you have missed.
have you ever looked at Nefyn when theres a big SW and Hells Mouth is blown out. It needs a big swell for it to work, but it can be
good.
I haven't been to Llangennith for a while either, but didn't notice anything too unsavoury last time I was there.

Hi Justal,
Thanks for the welcome!
...and thanks for the idea about Nefyn. Now the winter months are well and truly on us, it could well be worth a visit when those
monster swells start hitting!
I also have another request if anyone out there can help me!
Does anyone know of a nice cheap and cheerful B&B in the abersoch area? Or a little cottage that you can hire for weekends would be
even better! I know there are loads of them, I was just wondering if anyone can recomend any?
I'm getting a bit wimpish now the weathers getting cold, and I don't relish the idea of a frozen wetsuit after i've woken up in a
tent!

Since that last post of mine i've started surfing at Porth 'oer just up the road from Nefyn. The waves are consistantly of a better
quality compared to hells mouth. I've not had any problem from unfriendly Nefynians(?), thats probably because normal everyday folk
don't go in the sea when its close to freezing!
It might all change when summer arrives.... i'll keep you posted!
