Best time for Dovey ?
As sunday isnt looking too promising, i was considering just driving over in the car early saturday morning. What are the tide times
for the weekend, if i dont get there until after 10am will i be walking on sand for a mile ?
Otherwise, will presume you guys will park up in car park opposite the petrol station, or is there another meeting place ?
Thanks
Mark

May do the same as you Mark, that is drive over early Sat morning in me car.
If noone is in that small carpark they will be in the lay-by about a mile out of Dovey towards Towyn below the hotel.
See you there maybe

hi chris.
well i am going to check the weather tomorrow and if its not too fantastic for sunday I will try and book a B&B for friday night
and come home saturday night.
reckon it would cost me £40 in fuel in the camper but only £30 for a B&B and then i would just come over in my company car as
i get free fuel !
see you at the weekend, either way i will be there.
is that car park out of town you mentioned the cemetery one ?

Thats alright for you Shem, you can look out the window and if it picks up you can be on the water in ten minutes, some of us land
locked kiters have a 4 hour drive to get wet ! LOL
Fingers crossed it will turn out reasonable. Just checked guru and xc and Rhossi is offering stronger winds for saturday so may decide
to head up there instead, but i would love to try out the Dyfi side after having a good time at Borth.

So given the 'southerly' nature of the wind which is going to be the best side to try from ?
will it not be the dyfi side ?
also, does anyone know the tide times for saturday?
looks like i will be staying with the g/f 2nite and driving over early so should get to the beach for 10am at the latest.

OK , I prefer Borth side, less walking to and from the beach when swapping kites and getting cups of tea. but isn't a bit crap on a
southerly??? Advice please Col, Spooks, Al, Shem etc. etc.

It can be a little gusty in a southerly at high tide, but only because of the hill at the southern end of Borth... There will be very
little difference between Borth side and Aberdovey side in a Southerly... They aren't that far apart afterall!
Wind looks as though it will be SSW anyway, so there will be no difference at all.
High tide tomorrow must be around midday, but I haven't checked.

hi shem/ al,
if the tide is high at midday wont that make Borth awkward to launch from as there will be little beach space ?
forgive my ignorance but if you have to land close in shore that will mean running up the hill ?
will not then dyfi be a safer option or will the launch site be in the mouth of the estuary facing dyfi ?
questions, questions i know, but being the man on the spot i hope you will oblige
Thanks.
Raining here in Nottinghamshire at the moment and no wind, so hope its doing better there !

Yep, there will be little beach for launching and landing on the Borth side at high tide.... There will be more room on the beach at
Graveyards / Dyfi.
Not raining here and gusting to 21 knots!!!
