Recommended Posts

Ok Peeps, I thought I would creat a thread for those of us that are to frequent the North Beach (Seal Sanctuary) at Mablethorpe.

 

Weather Information, Tides, beach condition and most importantly, when you are thinking of going for a blast so that others can join in? :)

 

Anything relating to Kite flying, Buggying & Boarding etc at Mablethorpe then please feel free to post here.

well i spent 3 hours battling 5mph winds and sinking sand at Mablethorpe today lol

 

drove 40mins to Cleethorpes to be rewarded with 10-G15mph winds and firm fast sand with a lowish tide, stayed there till the tide lapped against my tires

 

will watch the forcast and xcweather for tomorrow :)

i tried cleethorpes a couple of weeks back for the first time and it was better than i expected, just more water about - and an estuary to avoid!. think the summer tides affected the beach a bit at mable as well, as their seems to be a bit more soft sand about since summer started compared to winter...

Cleethorpes is ok,just a little small,get past that estuary at low tide(if you can,it may be a lot steeper banked now)and dune hop down to the pier and back,would advise bigfoots,go out near the tide line,it's a good run,challengeing,but good fun,did it a few times,years ago.

yeah bigfoots down by the tide line are a must if you dont want your fillings rattled out lol

 

At low tide yesterday there was more beach than Mablethorpe, but it was short lived as the return tide is fast.

 

Im running barrow wheels, saving up for a bigger kite so the bigfoots will have to wait :(

i'm on bigfoot lights - day i went to cleethorpes was a bit low wind so i didn't venture very far as the wind dropped to nothing every now and again, i'll give the place a go on a better wind day as it does look a bit of a challenge avoiding things - its got good access from the car park in the caravan park too.

Had an excellent day today at Mable. It started off with a SE 5MPH wind and the going was difficult. I went out with the 9M for a start but soon came in for the 11m. It still prooved very difficult to get going any but after about 2hrs the wind started to pick up to an estimated EES @ 10-12MPH. This was well doable on the 9m so I packed away the 11 and spent the rest of the day on the 9.

Sand was soft in places with quite a number of streams across the main runs with lent to a very wet day's buggying :)

Topped out at 25.8MPH and did around 15 miles in total.

 

It was great to get back in the seat again after 4 years of being out!!

winds finally starting to look a bit better, actually got a bit of wind forecast for this week :) was out yesterday for the first time in ages.. just enough for my v13, was pretty offshore which was nice :D

 

You should have been there on sunday. 15mph in the afternoon with a very near perfect onshore wind coupled with a very low tide at 2pm. :cool:
