Hey,

Anybody have time to check gower out?


I hear great things about some "Biggie Smalls" coming back.. Hear is going layin' down some fat tracks too

So Biggie Smalls, if its in, should be working 24/7 and is not as effected by tides as regular solid 'aul gower.
To be honest i've no clue what its like.

But it'd be great to have someone check it out as soon as they can, maybe take some pictures. Orki is interested and I'm sure there are loads of paddlers all over the country interested as well.

I wont be able to kayak myself till Friday.

Very high tides due this weekend. Around a metre higher than this week so if water levels stay the same, the big tide could help it.
Sheep, like all wool-bearing animals, instinctively travel north, where it's colder, and they won't be so stuffy.

Why 9.30 actually? It will be freezing that early in the morning.
I'm going to wait until the sun warms up the place some little bit. Meet at 11?

Quick surf on gower if its working then off to CC?
