Got wednesday off, but the wind is not looking the best. How much can you add for an easterly wind? May be up for the weekend if it
improves

only seems to be showing 8-9knots for the weekend now ( lunchtime tuesday ), so if shems 'double it' rule works 18+ may be worth a
drive over.

Me too. Where do you go to enjoy such delights as an easterly?
Behind Borth on the estuary? Or Dovey side?

Ynyslas side is better as it gets the full force of the E-NE's whereas Dovey is a little sheltered... But, there is lots of work going
on on the beach at Ynyslas so there isn't much room for launching and landing and little access to the water at the moment.

So who's Dyfi bound for kiting ?
Not sure if my biking skills are up to you regular MTB'ers so although I could do with the exercise I dont want to be dragging along
miles behind.
It's either that or sorting the garden ready for it to be ignored for springtime !

steady Mark MTB sounds like hard work to me far easier on the water. i will be over dovey side in the main car park going down this
evening. Tim assures me that there is no safety margin for launching at ynyslas side now with all the work going on there. nice pub on
dovey the Britannia inn ,got some good real ale, ask Tony about it!

Neil,
Beware in the main car park, as J de Hat almost got a ticket last week for overnight parking.

So was J.d.H's 'almost' ticket due to not buying one ( I have been guilty of the same at Dovey ) or because the "overnighting" is
banned ?
If not permitted, is the car park opposite the petrol station/spar shop still available ?

Im keen for a sail at dyfi tommorow. Think Ive worked enough this week already! You could always park the vans down next to the train
station, (free and no time limit), then just walk over the caravan park and hey presto SEA!!!!

Ive only seen the guy twice since I've been going there. He came round early last week and I was still in bed when I heard him pull up.
Leaped out of bed and talked him out of giving me a ticket. I told him I had arrived late last night so consequently couldn't book onto
a campsite (Blag) but it worked....sure he won't be so understanding if this occurs on a regular basis... On the other hand, I've never
had any bother round at the carpark opposite the garage so give it a spin.
When you're close to the EDGE....Trust your INSTINCT....!

Hows Ivor been behaving this week Shem / Justal?
I may pop down tomorrow and Saturday if it's been a good Ivor.
Checking tide times for lagoons.

Ivor was in full force this morning...30-40 knots at Ynyslas, but has eased off to around 20 knots now.

So given the 'green' nature of last weekends forum posting, how likely are we to see some 'kiteable' wind at Dyfi this saturday/sunday
?
Its a long drive and over £60 of fuel to get there to sit on the beach ( as lovely as it is ).
If Ivor is playing ball, will we still be seeing 20knots by the weekend ?
