This trip has been cancelled due to lack of surf and very poor weather forecast for Saturday night. If the surf and weather gods are kind it might get rearranged to the following weekend.
The September surf weekend is almost upon us. This year we are contemplating camping not at Hillend at Llangennith as it is very expensive and the last 2 years we have actually used different beaches.
Let me (Rich L) know if interested and I will update this announcement with fuller details once known.
Harnesses and climbing shoes supplied, ideally suited to beginners and intermediates. After your legs and arms have gone shaky and you can't grip anymore........we play volleyball until 9:00pm.

as the weather's been a bit rubbish recently, any 'on water' activities will depend on how high the river is - we'll make that call nearer the time and let you know.
