Hi Mell I wasn't saying there should be areas for various levels of kiters, but for those that felt they were not too confident in the busy areas there was plenty of room on the field:D down "the bottom end"

Had a great time at FW1 Improvements mmmmmmmm the area that was set aside for static flying was a little dangerous later in the day. Memebers of the public arrived with their one lined butterfly kites somewhat unaware of the safety issues that need to be observed with the power kites. I undersatnd that this area was under the control of the Stunt Kite guys but it needed some control as little kids (and their parents) who were there to have a great time as we were, tended to wonder around it, in what could be a dangerous area? So an area for static flying of Multi lined power kites maybe needed? See below As for areas for the less experienced flyers, the far end of the field (as far away from the camping area as possible) was almost empty on saturday pm! As I'm still very much a newbie to this fantastic pastime of ours and I was a bit worried about the numbers of general public in the static area I went down to the far end of the field and pretty much had it to myself:) , but the traction area was almost empty down there and maybe could be used for the beginers??? Also It was down wind from the music so had a great afternoon flying to music with no others around to worry about/crash into;) Thanks to all the FW1 team for a great weekend:D

ssssooooorrrryyyyyy ooovvveeerrrr kkkeeeennnn oooonnn tttthhheeee kkkeeeyyybbboooaaarrrdd:D :D :D

will there be a rush for the gate on Friday night? what time are people planning to arrive?

since when has Portsmouth been in the SE;) .

Yep a beginer;) No wheels here, happy to keep my feet on the ground, well until the doth blow:D

What about a good old boat race? No tatics, just drink as fast as you can in teams. Whats say we taken on Team Flexi?

Girls too:eek: This is going to be a better weekend than I thought;)

is there going to be music and stuff in the beer tent or do we have to make our own entertainment?

Had better not be:mad: I've got a "pass out" (all married ones will know what that means) until Sunday Afternoon;)

2 names i see here a lot thanks guys. Have no trouble in walking up to people and starting a chat;) By the way, I'm the BIG BU??ER with short dark hair (6'4" and the wrong side of 20 stone) on the field will be hanging on to a BladeIII 4.9 or if it's too windy a super 10 or a Radsail pro II 3m:D and in the beer tent the one drinking for britain (a long with a few others I would think).

So............ who's who at this event? Any ideas on how to put names and faces to the "online names" we know so well? From reading most of the threads there is a real "hardcore" of you fliers but I'm up for making new buddies in the beer tent and even more on the flyin ground. Hoping you more experienced ones will show us new kids on the block how things are done;) . Here's to a cracking weekend:D The BFG (Wayne)

Hi there, My 6 year old use an 0.7 imp (bomb proof )without any trouble at all, but watch out, he's v big for his age and flying at WSM on the beach with the wind up around 20mph I find I have to hold him around the middle. But it has taught him all the basics he needs to know for flying;) . Have seen the Buzz and it looks very similar just a few more £££££

Don't get to excited yet. it's not worth betting on the weather more than 72 hrs ahead! So if it's still looking this good on Wednesday night's forecast....... PACK THE SUN BLOCK;) Or there will be a few people looking like this:mad:
