Once again we are going back to 'Windfest' in Poole - Fun for all the family, being able to enjoy a vast experience the taste of wind and powered events on and off the water; this welknown and high acclaimed extreme sports festival hosted by Poole Tourist board and organised by Gary Willingham is back on the ThunderCat calendar!

Piers Morgan quoted on Sandbanks, the location for the event: "Here's a question for you: where is the fourth most expensive place to live on the planet? Barbados perhaps? Or Beverly Hills? Nope, they don't even come close.

It's actually a tiny little sand dune on the Dorset coast called Sandbanks.

But this is no ordinary dune. On it, and around it, lie stunning golden sands, clear turquoise ocean water, luxury yachts, vintage champagne spilling out of every well-heeled resident's mouth, and houses that are currently going for an absurd £10million apiece.

I immersed myself on this strange, spectacular mile-square expanse of sand for this summer while making a three-part ITV1 series, which airs next week.

Nestled between Poole Harbour and Bournemouth, some say it is Britain's Monte Carlo, and certainly that old property chestnut "location, location, location" has never seemed more starkly pertinent.

Because there can't be many more wonderfully exclusive and exotic "locations" than this anywhere in Britain."
