Not much today, 5m was a bit too small.
Enough for me to try out my footstrpas and captive setup and enough for tiny to try the Tinyphoon.
Roll on next weekend

Removed half a tonne of Southampton beach , Removed every bolt , wire brushed all & left to soak in a de greasant / Lubricating oil , ( God I'm beginning to sound like you
)Wire brushed wheels , Polished the shiney aluminum bits , polished the " HARLEY "
Touched up a few flaky paint areas , It's starting to look a little more loved now

It's the Father-in-laws birthday and we are all out for lunch!
So busy this time of year, I can see my next outing with the kites will probably be 2009 at this rate.

Reminder for Sunday
Low tide is 12:20
Camber is useable for about 2-3 hours each side of LT, Greatstone more like 3-4 hours each side.
We can decide on the day or day prior, which beach to hit, as it depends on wind direction.
Camber
Anything starting with South or North is good
Anything starting with South or North is good
Greastone
Anything starting with a West or East is good.

Check the link for current conditions
Right the beaches
Greatstone beach, taken from the SEKA web site info.
This has a small car park, but if it is full a P&D is up the road towards Littlestone,
but you will be about 1/2 mile away, so best if we can all get into the free CP.

Canmber beach, taken from the SEKA web site info.
This has a big free car park, but has a height barrier entry,
think it is 2m, and a small lay-by just past the main CP for big vans.
