Weekend 23rd/24th

Unusual........... it's Tuesday and no one posted anything yet for this coming weekend

Currently looks like it might be a decent Southerly.

Anyone likely to be heading to Blackrock or Newborough...............?

I still haven't picked up a tide timetable for the year yet. Anyone know what they will be for this weekend at BRS ?

Just deciding if its worth driving over friday night or early saturday morning.

Weekend starts tomorrow - so whats the consensus?

Friday looking good Borth and BRS - 15-18 knots SW, so might be joining Dunk in Borth.

Sat still largely SW 14-15 knots in Borth. tailing off in PM, couple of knots more in BRS.

Sun coming round to Southerlies and looking pretty pants - unless you want to travel as far as Rhossy!

Think I might do Borth tomorrow, then either stay there or travel to BRS Fri evening depending on what others are up to??

Well BRS seems a firmer bet for the 'normal' weekenders !
But I cant get there until first thing saturday morning, hence the enquiry about the tide times.

How much longer are we still able to camp on the beach ? Is it 1st March or Easter ? Anyone know ?

Defo looking worth the trip now. I will be setting off this evening and possibly dropping in on the Dunkmeister for a beer on the way. Kitesurf Fri and Sat, probably hook up with Graham for an MTB trail on Sunday...If the weather stays the same. See you all on the water
