Does anyone know of any other beaches or large places that arent too far away that i could kite on? Would appriciate some help,thanks, lewis all beaches change constantly , and i reckon onshore winds (as the tide is going out) makes for a smoother /less ripperly beach. cleephorpes can be pretty good to landboard on . i've only been there once this year tho , and it was a bit seaweedy/smelly:) Quote

jugglerjon Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 If onshore at cleggy there is usually a nice hard strip just past the mudbanks running the length of the beach. Tis a bit smaller a t the moment but it'll change again no doubt. A favourable spring tide might see it right. Quote
lewisg1 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Posted September 15, 2009 Cleggy? do you meen skeggy or cleethorpes? as far as i know cleggy doesnt exist:P Quote
GrolschUK Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 Mablethorpe has lots of space now that the holiday season has finished and it's not dotted with picnics and cricket pitches, although can be very soft in places, with strips of hard sand running along the beach for the mile or so between the town and the north entrace at the seal sanctuary (which is where most kiters set up) Quote
