Hi
Is there anyone on this forum who regularly buggies/boards at Old Hunstanton, Norfolk, who knows the area well and can spare a bit of time?
Hunstanton Sailing Club have been approached by the Le Strange Estate (landowners at Old Hunstanton) regarding possible signage and zoning for both land and water kite activities. At this stage it's just ideas and discussion but those of you who are regulars will know that this beach can get pretty packed in the summer and the Estate just want everyone to be able to use their beach safely and sensibly.
I have agreed to meet with the Estate to discuss this further. I have the water side of things covered (being a kitesurfer myself) and although I have a good understanding of the area and the needs of a buggier (basically, lots of space and hard sand!) I thought it would be cool to consult with you guys directly to make sure I'm vouching for you in the right way and for the right things.
So, I'm ideally looking for one person to come forward who regularly buggies/landboards at Old Hunstanton, who is a good diplomat, and really cares about the future of kitesports at this location. Initially I'd just like a chat over the phone but if you were local and available midweek for meetings with Le Strange Estate that would be ace too. If this sounds like you please PM me.
Also, without wishing to start a big thread (gulp!), if you have any ideas for zoning/signage locations etc. please feel free to post them here.
Cheers
Marcus
