Thumbs up Bit of kite flying this weekend anyone ?

Oh yes as part of my rest & recuperation programme my kite has been seeing alot of action these last 2 weeks

Still not brave enough to get the 4 line Rage out the bag , But been having great fun with the peter lynn sting 1.5m On new 40m metre 100lb lines , Also Courtney really getting into it so delivered last week was the new Bigg Buzz from Flexifoil , Wow what a fast little mover that is ...

Found a brilliant new location .. But it's a bit of a drive to get there , But it's cliff top stuff overlooking the sea & a kite flyers haven , Others flyers there on Sunday getting serious air from a 4.5 Rage

Its here ...Essex County Council - Cudmore Grove country park

Like a say , bit of a drive , But take the family & it's a great location , Just £2 to park the car all day long , Tea room & ice creams there etc ...


Failing that on our doorstep we have Maldon prom park , Or Thorndon park , Either Sat or Sunday for me

Anyone else for a fly ???

Mate I was going to suggest this a few weeks back

On a serious note, do you think its a good idea following your OP... especially with the power kite, it puts alot of strain on your back and stomach...

I must admit it'll be fun watching your lighter frame being pulled all over the place though

I'd be up for a little meet in the morning
