agree with shem it looks a bit thin for wales.
may be trekking up to blackpool.
that seems to have more promise for the sunday, but it will just be a day trip for me.

If you hang around next to a pub for a few hours round here, you,ll get yourself nicked for loitering with intent. And as for going off
to do 'something' for a couple of hour, well..... there ain't too many sheep in Brum! LOL

I might be Blackpool way Sunday Cabte so I wouldn't mid tryin one of your kites if your there. Think everyone will be at the kiteshop
in Fleetwood for the morning as its dead Westerly. Failing that, it will be Squires gate in the afternoon for low tide

Dan you go down the A14 to hunstanton or brancater, bit of a boring run though but take aabout the same time as going to borth from
birmingham.
how about going up 't north around blackpool.

Cheers for that, blackpool sounds good often thought about making the trip up there. Especially for a weekend so a few beverages can be
taken on board

M6, A14, at J13 head for Peterborough on A605, Head for Wisbech & Kings Lynn on A47, FromKings Lynn head north on A149. Through
Hunstanton to Old Hunstanton turn Left just after the large green where the lighthouse is and there is parking next to the hotel.
This beach works in Southwesterly' round to Northwesterly. You will be able to see kites from the main road but you'll be better off
travelling about another 5-6 miles and checking Brancaster.
From Hunstanton carry on down the A149 to Brancaster and as soon as you enter the village, turn left and drive for half a mile to
carpark. Carpark attendant is named John and if you tell him your kitesurfing, he'll only charge you a quid.
Works best in East to west winds, but at mid to low tide its ok from any direction as large Knee to waist high lagoons form. I much
prefer Brancaster, but if your looking for evening entertainment, you'll be better off in Blackpool.
Hope this is some help
