Actually I might want to.

I'm currently in Victoria at the moment for work, but I'll be going back home just for the long weekend.

7Mile beach is my local (I live in Gerringong usually), so it will be nice to do a downwinder there with someone else - practice for when I want to do it by myself.

It would be hard to bail and hitchhike back once you get going, because it is very hard to access the main road from the majority of 7Mile beach. It would be a long walk along the sand. Only places (that I know of) where you have access to the road would be Gerroa, 7Mile beach carpark (about 2kms from Gerroa), then Shoalhaven Heads.



PS: No need for a bailout plan. That's what a patient girlfriend with a car is for. We would just have to make it to a road.

keep me posted what day your planning.
if im free and the wind is up ill be there

kitch

Also if a bail out is needed the northern half has a fire trail running parralel to the beach. No car access but better then walking upwind along the beach.

I should be round if the wind is on...

Count me in for a 7 mile beach downwinder

Keep us posted

We need a nice SE to take us all the way to Gerroa.



Please?

I'm in for a downwinder on the easter weekend too.....keep us posted and pray for wind!

how about we pencil it in for the saturday. i know its a bit far off for a reliable wind guestimate, but people will have something to aim for.
was thinging of taking a camping bbq for the destination sizzle. byo meat m beer etc

kitch

Count me in also if the wind is ok

Aaannnd... Now it's gone...

10 day forecast on weatherzone has an ECL forming off North coast on Sunday,if it holds true then we will most likely have a southerly pattern over easter.Perhaps Shoalhaven Heads to Gerroa might be possible if the wind is from the south.

Shoaly heads surf club and Gerroa beach main carpark (s side of bridge) are the best spots to meet. A southerly would be gold!

I'm keen for the down winder,keep us posted

It is well known that south winds are not so popular in the Shoalhaven delta. NE winds are a different situation.

So, it seems a late (small) chance on Saturday for NE, but the ECL holds the balance for the rest of the weekend.
