dogbreath64 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 Tomorrow looks reasonable weather which the chance of good wind. Unfortunately tides are all wrong for West Kirby and the direct Southerly will make Ainsdale an offshore wind. Are we allowed to kitesurf between Formby and Crosby? If not, then y as we went the other week and the wardens just drove past us without even stopping and the guy situated at the enterance had no problem with it either but im sure sumone on here mentioned we wernt allowed to!

Duderino Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 BIG FAT NO !!!!!!! We dont like it but it is the way it is............ Quote
JohnDave Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 Look at Anglsey or Blackpool instead. Quote
andrewlcblueyo Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 If its offshore at Ainsdale isn't it going to be the same at Formby anyway, regardless of legality?? Quote
Lukewhity Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 isnt it that ur just not allowed to launch an d land there? Quote
CoyoteBoy Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 I hear kiting is banned at any sefton council beach other than ainsdale now. Quote
dogbreath64 Posted November 30, 2006 Author Report Posted November 30, 2006 Ok well we wont go to Formby then just unusual trhat nothing was mentioned last time. All that was said was "watch out we'd just like to point out there are no lifeguards!" If its offshore at Ainsdale isn't it going to be the same at Formby anyway, regardless of legality?? If u look at a map ul c its a usable beach for Southerly winds http://uk2.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=330000&Y=410000&width=700&height=400&gride=&gridn=&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&keepicon=&zm=0&scale=200000&down.x=283&down.y=2 Anyone now much about kitesurfing round blackpool, thinking about heading there tomorrow as Formby is out of the question?
