The boys in South Wales held a downwinder event at Newgale on the West Welsh coast, but anyone was welcome to come over for a weekend of fun and drinking  :o)
I was a bit apprehensive about camping in November, Kim said there was no way she would come with me, but it actually turned out to be quite nice. Mind you, I did use two sleeping bags  :oP

James was kind enough to give me a lift in his van, which is a fully tricked out kitesurfing van with fridge, cooker, bed and all the trimmings inside. I'm not jealous at all!

Once there we met plenty of the local crew who turned out to be a really nice bunch. The local spot was awesome with some nice sized waves and flat sections on the downwinder. Very nice.
The two local kite schools also helped out with their zapcats running as support boats.

All in all, a damn good weekend
