Hi bubblensqueak! I took up kitesurfing last year and have mostly been to Camber as well as it's so quick to get to from south london. A little further afield but highly recommended is Weymouth Harbour and there's a few good places in West Sussex too.


Off for a little bank holiday sesh this weekend, can't wait :)

Hey guys,


I am an East Dulwich kitesurf addict!

Had a few go in Camber, Lancing and went to Poole last week and planing on going back again perhaps next week. Great spot for beginners and intermediate. Looking to discover new spots too and buddies to go kitting with!


Ronan

hey Ronan! Great stuff! Since my post a few weeks ago we tried Lancing (love the spot although on the day we went I was overpowered on my 7 and had to sit on the beach and watch others having fun) and went to Greatstone the past weekend which I love in NE wind...We haven't tried Poole yet but probably will at some point. Sunday for the weekend is not looking bad, I think forecast is calling for S wind so I think it'll be Lancing for us...How about I PM you if we are going and we can take it from there?

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
