I Was nervous as well mate , What i suggest is ....

1. Just static fly for 30 mins using your harness , getting the feel etc

2. Move into the buggy , use the harness on the straights , remove to slow down & turn

3. Gradually leave it in whilst turning , You will love flying with your fingertips i promise !!

You boys will all progress so much tomorrow in proper wind

Cant wait

even though i didnt break any pb's speed wise, and the slight super man impression, today was probably the best day i have had in the buggy. Just felt like i was at one with both buggy and kite.

You wait col til i'm harnessed in and flying your little 20 whatever it was is gonna be dust lol

Sounds like a great day guys, gutted i missed out especially with Halesy coming down too.
Amazingly the weather here is really warm (11eg c) and very very windy. The Caingorm mountains were shut today due to winds in excess of 100mph!!
Hopefully th winds die and the temp drops otherwise im gonna have to look elsewhere fo my snowboard fix
Looking forward to flying again too, hopefully my buggy will be fully worked on its next outing.

Fly safe guys
