Haven't heard anything from Shaun lately -you O.K Shaunus?
I'd really like to go along & spectate. Should be an awesome spectacle -& just in case it doesn't happen again, I'd like to be able to say I was there.

Latest from the organisers regarding Saturday:

"We are looking at making the first run starting as close to 08.00 am as we can, running all day, non stop until the tide throws us off the beach."


Looking at the tide tables

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/coast_and_sea/tide_tables/11/502

this shows the tide will be about 4 meters around 08:00, with the tide going out.
When the tide comes in, a 4 meter tide will be around 13:30. (Maybe they'll run a past this as the beach will be 'dry' ??), but it gives an idea of what might be expected.

High tide is about 17:00


For Sunday, the tides move a nominal hour later (so the 4 meter ebb tide is just before 09.00)

Don't be daft mr manky. You have the lunch hour to put the knobblies on and spray the WD40 everywhere Grin
The track is at the high tide area so it should run until at least 4.

Looks like it might be a bit damp (well it is Wales) and blustery.
