Cracking day guys. Everyone did well, be it first time in a buggy or first time on a harness everyone did really well.

Well done to Spally and Col on their speeds, i had a good day on the 4.9m Blade and after spending some time with some proper freestyle guys i felt i had learnt alot today. Also hit 30.3mph earlier in the day using the 3.5m Blurr.

Cracking venue, cant wait to go again

alright boys!!!

yeah, i saw spally in a layby and pulled in to see if he was ok, (he was only waiting for Colin), so i pull off and no more than 100 yrds up the road felt a rattle through the gears and no drive... with a busy roundabout looming, i thought it best to swerve into a little driveway (park entrance) anyway the aa man turned up within 15 mins and had a look and then told me id need a full on recovery truck, as the car was stuck in gear and even dipping the clutch, would not roll !!!

anyway, the recovery truck turns up about 35 mins later (i found a pizza shop nearby) and he tells me, he'll need to block the road off as the angle i was parked, he'd have to reverse drag my car onto his loader.

10 mins after that, the essex boys in blue turn up in the trusty mondeos and block the road for about 30 mins !!!! while matey does his thing dragging my poor car. 2 of the officers had a nice chat with us while they were there

then another nightmare trying to drag the car off the trailer at my house!!!!!

still its back home now and looking sorry for itself !!!

i'll decide what to do in the morning.

been a long day!!! hahahha oh well **** happens no point stressing!!!

thx for the texts and concern Spally / Tiny / Mick, im being philosophical about it.
Now if it was my buggy that broke!!! thats another story !!! hahahaha.

night night!

Better than BL, just wish Shrimpo would come fly with us down there too

Probably the best kite you could of purchased for learning to buggy mate. Very fast, and rock solid stability. You wont out grow it anytime soon either.
You will deffo progress much faster with it.

They look the nuts in petrol too, my 5m Blurr is in petrol

Have a good day guys, fly safe
