Default Phew weweeeeeeeee

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

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.

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

Default Lets do it then :D

"""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
