keith.b Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Any one going ainsdale this weekend was thinking saturday but think sunday morning is looking the better of the two days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Davies Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Sunday was looking promising , it's not now ! Offshore forecast north easterly through to south easterly , rather annoying when it was saying north westerly . Think ill give it a miss for Sunday was up early enough this morning but the weather was pretty shocking spent the day sorting buggies and kit out instead .

keith.b Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Yes Rob weather not looking good now. Don't know why I bother checking through the week think I will just start checking the night before. Was hoping to get out this weekend because kite zone is closed next week.

Rob Davies Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Went down this morning , not another kiter all day . First time ever had to show my permit normally they leave me alone that said not been down in ages and didn't recognise the ranger either . Wind direction was pants blowing southerly so just short runs between the sand dunes and the sea . Clocked up 6 miles but the wind was too low having to work my 7m sammy hard to keep buggy going , I really need a bigger kite . On the plus side my newly acquired race buggy went like a dream very happy with it just a nuisance to transport it down .Also entrance onto beach is better than its been in ages , made it on with car and trailer without any bother. Hope to catch up with you all soon . Happy kiting. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Davies Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Anyone going up to watch the buggy racing today ? It ran yesterday be it with reduced numbers from last year . Toying with going up for a watch and to blow the cobwebs out ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith.b Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I wanted to go have a look yesterday but thought it would of been cancelled with the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Davies Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Just back , brr chilly isn't the word ! Right tuff nuts these buggying types even the marshals are hardened baskets .Admittedly only a small field racing the weather had put a lot off . But credit were its due they put on a good show. I went for a weigh up I'm tempted to give it a go in the novice class and keep smiley Paul company at the back of the pack . If I had raced I would have got 3rd in novice class , only cos they was only 2 in it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlos101 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Wind today was JUST in good enough direction along the beach for some board fun! Fun is spoilt by the soft sand patches tho haha seen 2 buggers stopped in there tracks by them too! Still praying for high tides and some westerlies!

B0bby Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 anyone down at t time 5ish? started as a hobby... became an obsession!! Hoping to get down possibly around tea time. That wind looks too much cross on though for the water would prefer a bit more westerlie in it. Might bring the land board if I make it down.
