Hey guys, popped down to Porthcawl today to watch boat race, to rough they all packed up early. >:(

As the tide was going out i was watching the sand being blown up the beach, towards the fair ground, it was like a sand storm :o.

Incase anyone's thinking of going down there detecting, i would'nt  bother if i was you, until the wind direction changes, and drags it back out to sea.

Saying that though, the waters edge should be ok  :).

Are all the beaches the same around South Wales, can anyone tell us if Swansea Bay is the same  ???

Cheers Ace. ;)

Thanks for that, i was thinking about it tomorrow,   thats the trouble around here though this time of year   no sooner its off then its back on again

Your right Alan, could do with a real good storm don't you think, Ace :)

I detected on Eastbourne beach this year. No sand whatsoever. Soon gave that up as a bad job.....flamin pebbles....

The End of Feb is the next good time now usually,

Cheers Alan, i'll put that in my calender mate, Ace ;)

150 ace boy wait for the biggest tide of the year it will take at least 5 foot off the beach if not more..... and also wait for a big tide too especially swansea   might see u there 1 day mate ive tected a lot of beaches  and swanseas a good 1  ;) ;) ;)

Cheers Viking mate, hopefully catch you down on Swansea one day, all the best Ace ;)

Like it mate  ;D ;D ;D

There are supposed to be big storms rolling in tonight so it may shift some of the build up.

Cheers Geoff, lets hope so mate  ;) ;)
