Pembrokeshire Camping Weekend - 11/12 August 2007

[Neil Harvey]

Looking at boatlaunch, the caravan site at Lawrenny appears to be part of the Lawrenny Yacht Station.
Website has more info here on the caravan site and the facilities available at the Yacht Station:-

or Cresswell Quay would be quite nice too

Neil,

As has been pointed out though doesn't look like it takes tents.

Anyone recomend a decent campsite nearby ? Or can we go native and camp on a beach ?

It's only a 6.38m tide on the sat evening which gonna be a bit tight for creswell I thought.... I prefer to go up there if there's more than 6.5 ideally since the last bit of the channel is a bit on the tight side

Yeah, things are good down here thanks - not really been out much this year which is appauling. When we have been out, it's either been 5metres of wave height, or nothing.... I haven't seen many "inbetween" days yet to use!!
Let's just hope that it's cracking weather with a baby swell to get the boats gently clear of the water for some good video footage

we wont be able to make this trip im afraid

the axle will hopefully turn up by the end of this week, avonride have been on two weeks holiday and are back tomorrow, and i have no way of getting it fitted and set up in time for the weekend

my new pregnant lime will be arriving this weekend

and

i have just sold the TD5 Disco and the guy wants to collect that at the weekend as well

and

i have just booked up for 4 bike mots this weekend as it seems a weekend of jobs anyway!!!!!!!

so sorry to say that i have little chance of boating this weekend

[Jono Garton]

Without wishing to sound too pedantic this has actually changed this season, upriver of Lawrenny is now "Dead slow, minimum wake" as was pointed out to me by the finger wagging ranger recently, I wasn't planing when I was pulled, but in his opinion I was going too fast.

I noticed this new regulation when I went for a spin on the river last week. There must have been some loonies in displacement hulls flying up and down the National Park scaring all the flowers on the riverbank
In any case, there's plenty of river downstream of Lawrenny to give it some welly

[Jono Garton]

Looks like it going to rain all weekend, so anyone fancy changing the date for a couple of weeks time or sept?

Jono

[Downhilldai]

The only problem with doing this is Hugh J may have his trailer fixed by then

[Viper]

If you re-arrange me & me viper may be able to join you as well.

Jono if not in Pembs will you be in Aberporth over the weekend.

Well done on the free bit. Please remember that you need to put a wheel on both ends of the axle.
