Aug bank holiday, Anglesey/Menai Strait, possibly up Conwy river?

Thinking of heading down for a trip out, possibly Sunday or Monday. Though weather on Mon looks best. No rain and just sun. Wind 10mph.

Heading off any direction, perhaps up Conwy river.?

High tide 11.35 on the Monday. Perhaps beers in Gazelle Sun night, then Mon cruise up river in morning.

Anyone around?

Maybe, which is a rubbish answer I know. I've just changed the car and the new one needs a tow bar, which I'm trying to get fitted this week, if its not done I may be able to borrow back the old car.

If its deffo on I will do my best

Loving those Ospreys. Great looking boats.

Though even a tiny screen deflects the wind out of your face considerably.

it would have to be a itsy bitsy teeny weeny screen for both of those ospreys, or a realy good s/s tube round the screen, not that I'm making any comment as to how much white water they both seem to thrive in i need a better waterproof camera to do them justice
