jewbs123 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 Hi there fellas, was thinking of having our first trip up to mablethorpe tomorrow , its a couple of hour drive for us and looking at the forecast the wind looks to be southerly then moving to south easterly. Is the beach useable with these wind directions or are we best to save our first trip for another day. Been looking forward to coming up to mable for a while now. Quote
HOUSE Posted April 3, 2010 Report Posted April 3, 2010 Hi there fellas, was thinking of having our first trip up to mablethorpe tomorrow , its a couple of hour drive for us and looking at the forecast the wind looks to be southerly then moving to south easterly. Is the beach useable with these wind directions or are we best to save our first trip for another day. Been looking forward to coming up to mable for a while now. Hope this reply catches you in time. There is a pretty high tide at the moment so at low tide should be good depth of beach and if you choose your spot at north end Mablethorpe then you can buggy and board. You won't get any long runs with a south wind and if you want to go north or south along the beach be prepared for loads of tacking and running - we do get a fair few pools and creeks! If it goes south-east enough this might improve but this morning XC has it south all day. Best wind for Mablethorpe is east north east Quote

Hi Carl Well that is nothing less than you deserve and I am really chuffed for you mate. I know full well what it's like when your future hangs in the balance and you did right to concentrate on getting the job sorted. The beach will always be patient and you'll be back on there with one hell of a machine judging by the pics. I look forward to meeting up at Mable again soon and will be interested to see the Cooper kites. I'm still flying the same old gear but still lovin' every minute of it - as you well know. Let's hope the summer winds are kind to us - I'd like the chance to make at least one or two of those long summer evening runs this year if possible. I'm hoping that next weekend may be good as have both Saturday and Sunday off but winds seem to be all over at the moment. Many congratulations for your new achievements! Keep posting and catch you soon.......... Si Quote
