Hi Dave,
I've been going up to the club regularly since it re-opened on 1st May, albeit I have been sailing or doing jobs as opposed to windsurfing. The reservoir is more than full, i.e. it is showing +1 on the scale on the tower so there is little walking to do from your vehicle to the water.
It seems to have never stopped raining since Wednesday and there was lots of wind on Thursday and Friday. John C., Phil H., Keith H. and some others have been going up during the week. Today, there were quite a few windsurfing including John and Matthew D., Keith H., David and Carol C. and some others. The wind was up and down all day between F2 and F4 and, unusually, it was northerly. There is a Vortex Open Meeting taking place today and tomorrow but there is lots of space.
Some of the lads have been using the updated Grimwith website for the purpose of 'Buddy Sailing' and it seems to be working well. We really need more windsurfers to contribute and use the site more. It is good for Buddy Sailing, buying and selling stuff, club news etc. Take a look :
