Priory Bay BBQ and overnighter - 27/28 August 2011 -MORE * NEW DATES *

[Neil Harvey]

Just spoke to Nos, due to lack of interest, people being around, and cowes week making Calshot launching and general solent activity a pain, we figured to more it again to end of August when tides are much better for overnighting

So, August 27/28 it is.

I might still be out one day this weekend anyway if anyone's about

[Shaz]

Oh no... I'm going to have to read the whole thread again to find out if I'm interested !

Have a good one anyway

hoping the weather is not doomed... forecast keeps changing

[PeterM]

Sorry gents - I am in Jersey this weekend

[whisper]

We are planning on coming for the day on Sat launching with Doggypaddle if he makes it.

I need to take some video of the 4.7 as I’m going to sell it, so if anyone can help with that it would be appreciated.

[Neil Harvey]

cool

ok, so what do people make of the weekend forecast, it's been so changeable I don't know what to make of it.

XCweather looks OK, with winds 10-15 during day but up to 20 overnight, no rain
BBC shows light rain sat afternoon, cloud sunday and similar winds

[Ian M]

Sorry, cannot make it, playing taxi driver - seem to be doing it a lot recently

[doggypaddle]

Just spoken to NOS4R2 he isnt going,
Weather doesn't look good, BBC site looks more optomistic than most, however I dont fancy driving all the way down to sit in the rain all day.
then another 150 mile drive home in a leaky wet landrover

[Neil Harvey]

I think this weekend is dooomed this year, unless we get an Indian summer...

I prefer to save my petrol tokens for sunny days too where possible...

[whisper]

OK, no worries

Searider Gathering soon

Is it going to be New Forest and Nachos this year?

[little J]

The weather has not been good down here today windy lots of big downpours . would be a bit odd sleeping in a tent with your lifejacket on . I will still be out and about on Sunday if anyones around

well touch wood, every searider gathering has had really good weather!

There does seem to be a pattern emerging the last 5 or so years for nice octobers and grotty augusts, is it my imagination or has anyone else noticed?

[Nos4r2]

Damn shame aboutthe weather-just too much for overnighting.

I'm thinking the same sort of thing as the year before last with the campsite for the Searider gathering?

[doggypaddle]

The weather the night before was dire now you mention it! the day was bloody fantastic though IIRC. I remember putting sun cream on at the end of october
