Baloo Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hi folks, I am potentially spending a week near Pembrey in Waels Wales towards the end of October. Wondered if anyone had flown there and if it was a good spot. If it is rubbish I will leave the kites at home, NOT. Cheers, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant- Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Pembry is popular with power kiters, although you need a permit/membership from the local sailing club for traction. I don't think any such restrictions apply for a bit of static flying though, and it's a massive place so there should be lots of clean wind!

sailor99 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 ... and to avoid having your kites burnt you should call it Cefn Sidan rather than Pembrey beach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andelscott Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 ... and to avoid having your kites burnt you should call it Cefn Sidan rather than Pembrey beach In case we visit, could you spell that out phonetically for us? Else the kites could still be burned for an obvious English transliteration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor99 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Have you ever tried writing Welsh phonetically - there just aren't the keys for that sort of clearing your throat sound? Besides that I am not a Welsh speaker, so wouldn't presume to try and explain anything of the language that I couldn't find out from my mate Google.

Besides that I am not a Welsh speaker, so wouldn't presume to try and explain anything of the language that I couldn't find out from my mate Google. As I recall from Junior School in Cardiff Welsh 'is' phonetic with only a few oddities such as dd ch. The accent is another thing....
