  2. Got to admit I have never worn a helmet whilst snowboarding. Then again I haven't snowboarded for over 4 years. I ALWAYS wear a helmet while kiting no matter what the wind speed is. The last time I went snowboarding I was out on my own. It must have been a sunny day cause I remeber I was quite hot. I took an off piste route down a small valley and must have slammed somehow. The next thing I know I am sitting in the snow thinking whoa my head hurts, and why am I so cold? How long had I been lying in the snow? No Idea Would anyone have found me? Wasn't a well used route so again no idea Would a helmet have prevented the 3 day headache? Almost certainly Yes I now know that I will always wear a helmet whether on or off piste.
  3. Just allowing for stops whilst you get out and feck around with a big spanner??
  4. Bring her to the beach :D At least 7 hours to chat whilst driving :D Or is it not that sort of catching up?? ;)
  5. That could be an understatement XC and windguru both showing mid-high twenties at the moment.
  6. Noticed yesterday that Ski-Sunday has a Kite Snowboarder and a KiteWing in the opening titles. Anyone seen any kite action on this yet?

  8. Is that area any good for a snowkiting trip?
  9. I have an Archos AV500. There are options in the System Menu for 'Windows Device' or 'Hard Drive'. I find it easier to use as a Hard Drive so it just shows up as a Drive letter. Otherwise Media Player wants to try and synchronise the device which is just a pain. Hope this helps.
  10. Well we managed to dam the river. Watched the rain. Played with Mark and Bens cars. Moaned about no wind. Had some lunch. Watched the rain again. Fixed the broken dam. Moaned about it being too wet and no wind. Then rain stopped, the sun came out and the wind picked up to a massive 13mph SW. Then it went dark so we all went home. But a couple of hours of fun was had and got some runs on the banks.
  11. 15m Guerilla - 20mph Good 15m Guerilla - 20mph gusting 30ish - Worrying 15m Guerilla - 35mph+ - OMG was that the car park I just passed:eek: Safety works Was a bit wet though.
  12. I'm in work and I'm bored. Still don't know if we go home early either :(
  13. No it feckin' wasn't :mad::mad: Just like to say a big thanks to the British Gas engineer who didn't bother to turn up or phone to say they couldn't make it. So much for pre-arranged appointments. Still the dining room looks like a beach now I've cleaned all kites and board.
  14. Great Doo Thanks Frankie!!! Hope to be down earlyish tomorrow.

  17. Adam from Turbulence did mine. Might be wrong but I think he said it was Babybel wax
  18. Can we have two threads this time..... One for 'Ainsdale Kiting' and one for 'Ainsdale Fighting'
  19. Question. Will existing T numbers still be valid or do all beach users now need a new permit?
  20. Any plans set out for Saturday yet? Stupidly early start for the East coast or lazy afternoon in Wales.
  21. I think its a Sparrowhawk. We have a regular visitor and quite often see a blur and explosion of blue and yellow feathers as Blue Tits get nabbed from our bird table.
  22. Could do North Wales. High tides are around 2pm on the East coast this weekend. So would need a v early start.
  23. Thanks for that . It took me 2 soddin hours to get to Runcorn from Birchwood on Wednesday. Pete
  24. So knowing what your timekeeping is like shall we meet at Chester services for breakfast? Say 9.30ish?
