Rob - Gliding? please explain, could have a common interest here........
I'm in total confusion about the weekend. I really want to come up to Borth, but need to pick up the 8.0 from the south caost (Poole)
to make sure that there are more than force 3 winds However, can't get any
time off work, and can only head south when I should be on my way to Borth. Might have a headache on Wednesday afternoon to pick it
up........

I know it sort of depends on the weather, but should we do the BBQ on the Saturday or the Sunday? I take it most people will be staying
in Borth for the Monday as well??
Wes, how's your headache coming along!!?

Al, stop fretting and just CHILL!!! We can decide on Saturday if we want
to barbie on Saturday, Sunday, or even both! Just get on with organising the wind!  But for the record, I'll be heading back sometime Monday so either is fine.
There's more to life than KITESURFING!
Let me know when you find it.

Regretfully the head is fine. There is just too much to do to skive. I'm stuck going south at the start of the weekend, but I think I
can do this on Friday afternoon. So, all is not yet lost. Its all going to depend on those forecasts again! I am yet again going to
have to head to the windiest place (Between Borth and staying on the south coast) for the weekend, I don't get out often enough to miss
the best conditions! However, after chatting to Rob, if it looks like good flying weather, then I've arranged to go fly gliders - that
should't mess with any windsurfing so it'll be OK............

Just Chill???... You gotta be joking I've just spent ALL day at work overlooking the sea whilst there was blazing sunshine and a steady
Force 6 blowing... Grrrrr, Grrrrr, Grrrrrr!!!
Then come 6.30 when I finished the wind finished too... Grrrr again.

Ouch ouch ouch, oohh the pain......
That head is hurting - looks like I'm finishing early tomorrow to go and pick up the sail! Should be on to the south coast by 3(ish)
and it could well be windy as well! Didn't sway me at all honest!
So, now all I have to do is go to the best weather on Friday afternoon (I know, I'm slack....) so, whats the Borth forcast?

Not sure if me and PaulF will be there as we might head off to the Big Bang at Santa Pod. How many will be staying in the dunes? If we
come along then we will be there friday night in my orange van. Wind does seem to be promising though...
Let me know what the verdict is as we don't want to be the billy-no-mates again.

Right!!! Me and PaulF have made a decision... We are going to take a gamble on the wind and will be in the car park tomorrow night.
Looks like the wind isn't a definate but if there is any anywhere then it will be there (I hope!).
Anyway, if anybody is around and are up for a drinking/bbq sesh on Sat night then PLEASE come and find us or we will sulk (I will
anyway).

We'll see you there...
There was plenty of wind here today, so lets hope it lasts.
Forecasts are saying quite a bit tomorrow (Friday) especially as its NE so the estuary should be working well, but much less on
Saturday (10-12 knots), followed by even less on Sunday.... It could still all change though.

Not looking promising from where I'm sat, I'm fed up of no wind at the weekends! I'll keep looking at forscasts and if it says its
going to get good, I'm on my way......
