I think the field is better for buggying in Mayland if the wind is coming from the west

Just got back from Hylands, he-he windy !!!

Only took the 1.2 sting but was pulling none the less. After hanging onto Joffy's ankles for a while he resigned to taking pics on the phone 3stone 3lbs is probably a bit light to fly the sting alone

Camera Man (taking pics of himself)



The Sting



Camera Man lost his hand in the setting up !



Launching



Flying











Hope you all had fun in the wind today dudes !

Just back in from another amazing blast over the school field , With winds gusting to 30mph+ it sure was hairy stuff & the 2.5m Rage was ample to get me going 20mph in the buggy , The wind was constant & the grass short = Loads & loads of laps of the field in the buggy

Was powersliding the buggy in & out of the coners as well Simply awesome stuff !!

LOL Im bleeding buzzing again

Roll on tommorow , Please weather be kind

Just in after a mega session.

Got a bit naughty out there today, a few stacks were had too. My Sting now needs a repair due to some tree damage. Thats what happens when youre tanking it down the field and run out of room too quick lol.

3.3m was plenty enough for today, tiny was getting launched on just 2.5m... awesome

Had a nice few runs in Frayz's buggy, before having to use the killers after getting a bit out of shape!

Wind was so powerful today, too much to be able to fly my 2.5 Rage standing up, was pretty scary actually!

Ive just surfaced and am in some serious pain lol.

Only snowboarding is more physically demanding than this.

We have a table booked at Zara for 4pm so could come out before then if the weather holds off. Not interested in flying in the rain though guv.

Dunno what to do regarding my kite either?

What are your thoughts?

Either way i cant be arsed with Hylands, Mayland is 10x better.

LOL Poor you

My thoughts ... lets face it , It's pants out there , The ground will be wet & though @ the minute it's not raining it's bound to

I Was just gonna get kitted up old trousers , old waterproof jacket & just rip it up again , Get wet so what , Jump in the bubbly tub when i get in

Your kite , Reading on FF The boys seem to think it's not a problem , But then again they dont know you Though you could fly my 2.5 & i could try your 3.5 , Still think it's a bit gusty for the 5's to come out

Yep Mayland field knocks the spots of highlands pk , Got time for a couple of hours , Say starting @ 1pm regardless of the weather , If not i'll just couch potatoe it all day
