I'll be there, I just hope that my finger is better by then.
and if Boardwise come it will be good, as I need to buy some new kit.
I might encourage GMAC to come and stay as well....

Half term
I haved it on good authority that half term (at least in Kent) is at the END of October, so I reckon us campers (oo-er missus) need not
fret about booking. 
There's more to life than KITESURFING!
Let me know when you find it.

Martin... I haven't forgotten about looking up B&B's for you.... I'll do it soon!!
If my Fanatic Cross has been repaired and is still at Wet & Windy I may ask one of the Bristol Crew (You or Spencer) to do me a
favour and bring it up here for me when you come up for the weekend.
Not to worry if you can't do it, and it might not be ready in time anyway, but it was just an idea that may work out. I haven't managed
to speak to anyone at W&W yet anyway as Andy has been on holiday, so I don't even know if they CAN repair it.

Well, I guess I might be able to make it too.
I think a B&B in one of the pubs might be best (Bar & Bed). Least distance from bar to bed and back to breakfast!

Cool... we'll look out for you Rabbit. Hopefully it won't be too cold for you in the tent. We're living in a caravan with no heating
here at the moment, and its beginning to get a little chilly in the mornings, but its not too bad yet.
Have you phoned any camp-sites to ake sure they are open for that weekend? or will you just camp in the dunes?

camping
Al,
was thinking of checking out the lay of the land, if the weather does start to turn then maybe yha sounds good, if not then at least
camp sites usually have hot showers, except the one I visited at Rhossy which was freezing between 7am and 11am and 3pm to 7pm.
Catch you soon.
Rob.

Looks like we should have quite a crowd on the 4-5 october. Should we start reserving rigging/ parking spots ?

HI All...
My brother-in-law is gonna come along as well,he owns a tent which is handy,Camping in the dunes Al that sounds intresting?? Im looking
forward to a mild weekend with F4-5 winds...(please,please,please). AL u mentioned a board at wet + Windy? would be happy to ferry it
up if no one else can.Havn't been on the forum for a while,been working 70-80hr weeks...

Camping in the dunes isn't 'officially' allowed, but lots of people do it, and as long as you;re quiet and don't leave a mess then I
see no reason why you shouldn't do it.
Personally I'd like to see no wind first thing in the morning, but perfect 3-4 foot glassy surf, then Force 4 from 10am-1pm for
kitesurfing, followed by Force 6 all afternoon for windsurfing... Somehow I can't see that happening though. 
As far as the board goes, I spoke to Andy at W&W yesterday, they haven't looked at it yet, but if it is ready in time then it would
be cool if you could ferry it up for me... Cheers. I'll let you know when its ready.
70-80 hr weeks!!!! You must be raking it in, you'll be treeating yourself to some new toys next no doubt!
Rabbit.... Your plan sounds good.... hot showers might be a luxury that I won't have even if we are in our house by then, as we still
won't have a cesspit for the water to drain into.
Will anyone be coming to Borth on the Friday, or any earlier?? If so I may book a day or two off myself.

I too lurk like Rabbit but rarely post. However, this get together sounds like fun...even better if boardwise do a demo. Who know's, my
revolutionary Techno 283 wave board might get an outing too!
I've got a permit from Mrs Nick for a "windsurfing weekend" as well ......having not taken the boards on other family holidays this
year. So I'm all set.
I'll make sure the weekend's kept free and come if the forecast looks good. Probably stay the Saturday night in Borth yha....budge up
BEFS
Is there any evening entertainment planned?
in anticipation...
Nick
