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.

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!

In case we visit, could you spell that out phonetically for us? Else the kites could still be burned for an obvious English transliteration

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.

What you need is someone with Welsh heritage to do it for you ...... not sure there is anyone like that on here???

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....
