Bristol Nomads Windsurfing Club

Last night I had a conversation with a former colleague who was interested in my views, as a windsurfer, on the impact a proposed Severn barrage would have. The idea of a Severn barrage is not a new one. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severn_Barrage The favored location for the barrage seems to b...

Looks like Wednesday was the day to bunk off work, you lucky, lucky people.
I spent the day watching the office car park trees doing the wind jig in the sun.
Bah!

It was one of those more enthusiasm than wind days.

Will I ever learn?

Currently stuck in a world of DIY. We moved house last month and there are many many things to do before I can go windsurfing again.

On the plus side, we now have a garage!

Sorry have I confused a byway and a green lane?

Not entirely sure what the rights are anymore.

Motor vehicles are already banned from using off-road rights of way. In fact, they are also banned from using some roads, since early 2004 I believe. These people seem to have confused a byway - which motor vehicles have the right to use - with cycle ways, footpaths, bridleways, RUPPs etc etc etc.

Hi Ben,

Would've gone to Aberavon yesterday or at least tried to but we are moving house in a few weeks and there is much ado about packing.

Ok thanks. Yep I used several computers and often log in automatically. Will try to cut down on this!

Went to Newton yesterday and got skunked. Is it me or the weather forecast that was wrong?

I was hoping to go tomorrow, Sunday.

Somewhere in South Wales?

Yes, not a bad outing at W-S-M. I had planned on going to Aberavon but found the M4 blocked with football traffic (will they ever finish the Wembley stadium?). It was a bit too onshore and there were a lot of kites going bacwards and forwards in one foot of water, right by the shore. But once past t...

Possibly Weston (see other thread) depending on tomorrow mornings inshore waters forecast.
