Well just back in from a few hours out this morning
Very Very testing conditions to say the least
One minute nothing next thing your fully powered up & out of control , Had 2 rather nice OBE'S & With no killers had a long walk for the kite & handles
Still flying harnessed felt so easy , one more session & i think I'll be up to speed
The wind blew from the East today & it's forecast the same for tomorrow
Not the best as it gets mashed up by the houses, I Really feel that we should contemplate all flying @ the other kite park tomorrow @ Barling , This is @ Southend & & with a nice on shore breeze it has to work well imho
Your thoughts on going there tomorrow instead of BL please guys

Easterly wind was a royal pain in the *** today guys.

Gota a couple of jumps in today but too dangerous to be flying Blades in conditions like that so i decided to leave it at that.
Deffo up for trying Barling tomorrow mate

I Really think we should mate as the Easterly doesn';t work @ BL
I just had PM From Badger over on FF , He says Barling is cracking on an Easterly ( Wind direct of the sea , look here ... )
Wind Map - Britain
Badger is down tommorow & wants to fly with us boys , Shall i tell him we are going to Barling then ?
All we need to fly there is insurance , helmet & a fiver , We all got that so no issues

"""The power-kiting field is very open; with the sea only a couple of miles away, hosts good clean strong winds, and easterly or westerly giving you lovely long runs the whole length of the field and launch area."""
That's good enough for me
