Sir Harvo Posted October 14, 2003 Report Posted October 14, 2003 Here is a link to a video of a friend learning to buggy their. http://www.teammadison.co.uk/Buggy.htm You can see what the beach is like. Park in the Seal Sanctuary car park and head left when you hit the beach. Quote
big-jon Posted October 14, 2003 Author Report Posted October 14, 2003 Thanks for al the above messages. Can anyone tell me the nearest place to check for tide tables? Have looked for Mablethorpe but cant get one for there? John. Quote
daft mick Posted October 14, 2003 Report Posted October 14, 2003 Mabo is about halfway between Skegness and Grimsby. I use Skeg times, as they are near enough. http://www.ukho.gov.uk/tideprediction.cfm?region=1&locale=England&portid=0167 It is better if the wind is onshore/ easterly. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=2565&links That way you get some good long runs along the beach. Hope you have fun!! Quote
caine Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 Tides are crap for thurs, but the wind is bloody massive at the mo 19-20 straight onshore, whick as daft mick will tell you is bloody brilliant at mabo Quote
big-jon Posted October 15, 2003 Author Report Posted October 15, 2003 Low 03:14 - 1.9m 15:29 - 2.2m Is this crap tides????? - Taken from tide table for Skegness. Quote
caine Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 Tis when its dark at 630 and i dont get out of work till 5 d Quote
big-jon Posted October 15, 2003 Author Report Posted October 15, 2003 ok see your point! was worried for a sec, we are travelling from Liverpool + Warrington and didn't want a wasted journey!!! Don't worry wind looks OK for the weekend!! John. Quote
caine Posted October 16, 2003 Report Posted October 16, 2003 Ther should be enough room to buggy from about 1-2 o clock onwards, will be out on skeg beach around 4 on fri for a couple hours if your kicking about, best place to park in mabo is the seal sanctuary car park at the north end of town, as you face the sea from here going left for about 3 miles is abombing range!!! be careful, writh the wind youll have youll easy be able to reach it Quote
caine Posted October 16, 2003 Report Posted October 16, 2003 ps at the seal sanctuary there uis apub but not sure if it will still be open, there is a Goden sands holiday park over the road who have a supermarket, best breakfast is at daves just across the road from Aldis, dont worry about finding anything, mabo only has about 2 roads, best way in is M62 M18 Mi80 once you get to l;outh just follw signs for mablethorpe / Alford dom Quote
big-jon Posted October 16, 2003 Author Report Posted October 16, 2003 Thanks for the help guys - will tell you about our day when I get back tonight. John Quote
mick Posted October 16, 2003 Report Posted October 16, 2003 Travelled up there last saturday. It was very soft in places. Not very windy either and then to top it. The Derby kiters I met up with were having an early nite. 6 o. ble-din clock. Wat are you lot made of. Any way off to Brancaster this weekend for a go. May see somebody there. Which is best? Bran or Mable. Quote

mick Posted October 17, 2003 Report Posted October 17, 2003 My mate has just bought a Libre special so we're going down to Stopsley on Saturday to get him going. I hope the tides are ok down at Luton. Nice bit of grass for anybody down there. Quote
