Forecast is for onshore winds tomorrow at Brid. Anyone going that way? Thinking of heading over with the Mrs, the Bullet and the G13. Anyone know the time of low tide... I assume low tide is the best time to go the beach for land-boarding?

Prompted by Batz, I just emailed Ian Rayner asking whether we are free to continue flying there whilst we are negotiating the finer details of the 'designated areas', subject to the usual provisos regarding being a danger/nuisance. He has replied to say that we are to continue as normal, subject to the normal safety measures and courtesy. He goes on to say that if we have any concerns about rogue users not being safe, we are to please let him know when and where if possible and he will ensure that a foreshore officer visits that location to assess and respond if necessary. It looks very much as if ERYC are keen to work with us. If only they were also in charge o…

Well, six of us met with Ian Rayner at the council this evening. We had four concerns: 1. We didn't want a permit based system 2. We were concerned about irresponsible people coming to Fraisthorpe and acting in a way that jeopardised our usage of the beach 3. We wanted clear signage to notify the public of how to act around power kites at Fraisthorpe 4. We wanted to have a system of not only flying at previously designated areas (Fraisthorpe itself), but also to build a flexible system that allows for other beach locations in East Yorkshire to be used. I am VERY PLEASED to say that over a 2 hour meeting, ERYC made it very clear that their concerns were com…
