possible chris i'm waiting on an e;mail conformation from waveriders which i havent receieved as yet...i'll contact them or another
company on monday to sort it all out..
i was speaking with them today and accommodation isnt an issue its trying to get the best deal on flights
THE FOLLOWING BIT IS OFF THE FLEXI FORUMS BUT WORTH NOTING ITS ABOUT THE SPOT AND COLONA WATERSPORTS
Do Not convert your money in the Uk wait till you are out there...it was 12LE to the £ in egypt and 10Le to the £ here in the UK!
Drink Sakala or Stella which is local beer ...I did and hardly needed to sleep ...Party,party party! Swear there is something in it!
Take some mini headphones and walk around at night with them in..you dont get hassled ...I wore them in the Taxis too! The Bus are
cheap ask them before you get in if its a bus ..if they say its aspecial it means non stop and will charge you around 15LE ...get out
within 30 seconds a nother bus will appear...pay when you get out and pay them 1le to a max of 2le and walk off... if you talk to them
they are a pain. DO NOT CHANGE money they will rip you off ...always carry 1le notes ..change larger notes at the Hotels. ITs only the
taxi drivers that are pain in the butt. Any serious problems pretend to take the number on the back of the bus?taxi aand threaten them
with the TOURIST police.
Colona rent kites at £15 for 3 hours no matter the size so pray for light wind on one day just so you can play with a 30m. Spoke to
begnan and he should be starting to take photos and videos plus now louis is back they are trailing safaris to other beaches! If you
are unfortunate to have very little wind check out the water park.

hopefully last(ish) posting there are now six going
Me
mNeil
Dunk (mark)
Pluto (paul)
Spooker (andy)
Nick (the hill)
have your phones and credit cards with you as i will ring you on monday noon (ish) with the contact number to pay etc, ive said your
all insured so its up to you to arrange either with the tour operator or the post office if you haven't already got insurance that
is..
above cost of 337 was for eight of us so price might be up slightly but i'm takeing the fire truck and six firefighters on monday for
the blag of a discount (its worth a try..if i dont get a discount it means there all lesbo's)...speak to you all either tomorrow on the
beach or monday...happy holidays..col
just to wet your appetite taken from waveriders site.....
The Kite surfing is quite spectacular as the zones are spread over shallow transparent, peachy flat areas.
Carving, toe side transitions are just silky and big airs with multi turquoise views are just mental.
The conditions are great and with our new and extended 2005 Kite surfing sessions for sure you will have an epic week or two’s
kite surfing whilst indulging in affordable luxury

ok all ye blokes who are coming its all paid for, ive just got to sign on wednesday and thats it....Eygpt here we come....to paul and
andy it might be worth you to meeting up being as you both come from the shrewsbury end you can travel together.
me,neil,mark (thanks mark) and nick are going to gatwick in marks van on the friday morning, as the route goes past my front door paul
and andy could meet up there and we have a convoy (big ten four rubber duck) then jump om M5 to M40 to gatwick...neils booked the van
in at the carpark and i believe he'll post the details etc...
the earlier we get there the more likely to blag free excess luggage as a freebie.
i'll post more details when i have them

2 1/2 Hours to Gatwick?
Where abouts do you live Col?
I do Horsham at least once a month and it usually takes 4 hours from Shrewsbury!!
I suppose if you've got a red lorry with blue lights the traffic does tend to move out of your way!
