Westridge woods near Wotton under edge
Hi, This is what I consider my local patch. Its perfect for a weekday evening ride after work in the summer, when the mud has dried out and there are only a few random dog walkers to worry about. There is a set of bridleways to ride, plus some cheeky singletrack, and even some dirt jumps in an old d...

Hi Rachael they are all Tushingham: 7.1 Max 6.0 Storm 5.2 Vulcan 4.5 Storm 4.0 Storm The 7.1 and 5.2 are well worn, the 6.0 is newer, and the 4.5 and 4.0 have only been used a few times. All in the original bags with rigging instructions. I'll be taking some photos soon and will post everything in t...

Radical; if only my windsurfing had attained this level. Sadly I think I only achieved remedial or possibly referable. Mountain biking is great fun though isn't it? LOL The old trees swaying in the wind thing hasn't really grabbed me for more than a year now, either they haven't been swaying or I ha...

Giving it up, selling it all off
:( After some thought I have decided to give up doing or claiming to do this wonderful sport we call windsurfing. It has been a blast, but unfortunately new diversions have come along, and I can no longer justify keeping all the equipement when its only losing value and not getting wet anymore. So I...

There's no way I can compete with any of that :oops: Still though just recently I have thought about logging all of my sessions, not just for what/where/when but also to keep a check on the total hours used on each piece of equipment, down to which boom, fin, mast base I've used and so on. Just usef...

Hi Adrian yes I think we have met but I usually keep a low profile so I rarely get recognized in public 8) Yes I should have borrowed a boom, didn't think of that at the time. I was quite pleased with my self-rescue efforts though. I was going to speak to the jet ski lot to reassure them that if any...

I went to Newton today :) Great place why have I never sailed there before? Easy launching with progressively bigger lumps as you get out. What's not to like (apart from the M4). There was a large student presence, holding some kind of competition. Also at least a few of the BWA were there. So I rig...

Me? Not even been out this last month. There have been some days where I perhaps could/should have gone to Newton like some of you did. But I'm getting so out of practice that I find a big day quite scary now, when in my younger days I would have been a lot more gung-ho. Last good sail was at Portla...

Hi Sue Yes it is a great place, I don't think I've ever been disappointed going there even though it is quite a long trek. Highlight for me was probably a few years ago when I went down in mid week, to find the speed event was on and a certain Mr Dunkerbeck was taking part :D My tip for the route is...

7am on a Sunday? W-S-M on a bank-holiday Monday? You guys are crazy! Still not as crazy as going to Weymouth for the day. It really is too far I have now decided. Even taking the western approach into the town to avoid the known roadworks and very long delays on the main Dorchester-W road, it still ...
