Atavar Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 Is the kite park still open? Does everyone tend to hit the beaches still rather than the park? Does anyone know if anything has changed at all at Cleethorpes Thorpe Park? If you are talking about Boston kite park its long been ploughed for crops, ever since the price of wheat went back up.

My sons into kitesurfing/landbording but I buggy, which is the best beach for both? and for Mablethorpe can we park in the Seal Sancutry car park? Hoping for some nice winds tomorrow.... Quote

Can't tell you which is best for kitesurfing, but Mablethorpe North End is probably best for buggying if its an onshore forecast. Yes - park in the seal sanctuary car park and take the path over the dunes just to the side of the Ferryman Pub and cafe/shop. A couple of kitesurfer guys I know from Louth head to Mable if the wind is right so I reckon it should be OK Quote
sharpey1 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 thanks house for that but me and shiner have been quite a lot before we usually park a little bit further up in a car park and it is just about15-20 steps down to the beach so the two of us have to carry our buggy's down. and it's about £4 for the day it's a lot easier than dragging all your kit back up over that Sand ... heart attack stuff..lol Quote
Darshak Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 Anyone up at Cleethorpes or Mablethorpe tomorrow? Quote

My guess is high tide approx 1.00pm (correct me if I'm wrong) so could be an early or late sesh. I'll keep watching... Quote
