.Joel Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Extreme Kites Labour Day Explorers' Weekend Friday March 8th - Monday March 11th Land kiters for two decades have been kiting Waratah Bay, kicking off from the Sandy Point foreshore. This time we're looking at exploring the East side of Shallow Inlet, launching from the Boat Ramp and traversing the east side in to Wilsons Promontory. Having never done this before, anyone joining us is advised to be equipped for all terrain with either Big Foots or MidiXL's. Alternatively having a ski-rope in case you need to pull through some soft patches if on Barrows or Midis may also be a workable option. Route Planned Tides Late afternoon/evening tides, with daylight savings still running we'll be able to kite well in to the evening. Accommodation Options Shallow Inlet Campground - $20/night (Unpowered Sites) Shallow Inlet Caravan Park - $40-$126/night (Unpowered Sites, Powered Sites and Cabins) Wilsons Prom Holiday Park - $65-$315/night (Unpowered Sites, Powered Sites and Cabins) Sandy Point Caravan Park - $55 - $65/night (Unpowered Sites, Powered Sites) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWind Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Sounds like a great idea. On the exploring theme, I managed to get a bit of the 90 mile beach run (Woodside to McGaurans beach) last weekend. Not as wide as Warratah Bay, but very rideable! Pretty sure you can make it to Seaspray, possibly further .... next time! .Joel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrWind Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Assuming the forecast stays as is I'll be coming down from central Gippsland on the Monday. Most likely get there mid-afternoon (4pm). So far it is looking good! Sorry - Sunday - that is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Joel Posted March 7 Author Report Share Posted March 7 Revised forecast for Sunday is looking pretty bad, 6pm low tide and somewhere between 3pm and 6pm the perfect window to get on the beach it's shifting to SE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad isn't the word. The forecast for the whole weekend has been turned on it's head!! There was ment to be a cool change arriving some time Sunday, the BOM said a few days back. Not now!! Northerlies the whole weekend, and Mother Nature has decided that Summer is going out with a blast! Saturday 39 Sunday 38 Monday 38 Put the buggies back in the shed, and grab the boogie boards. Or turn on the A/C and sink a few cold ones....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
