Chaos Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 Oh, how I have missed repeatedly landing on my arse whilst falling over on my snowboard, wish the wind was more consistent, but it was great to have a go. Well I didn't think Greg would be the first of the Hearsall crowd to try traction snowboarding, but he was, and he had some great runs with the Sami today. He'll be on a land board next PS, thanks for the invite PM, but we stayed local Quote
ginge20006 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 Hi everyone, I'm Paul have been kitting for about a year now in Birmingham. And would like to join yous at some point down on Hearsall Common. I'm sure I would get an education. Only have one question do i need to be insured to fly here and if so where can I buy. Thanks Paul. Quote
Chaos Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Hi Paul, No insurance is not mandatory, but I would suggest you get some, just in case. Have you got Pads and a Helmet? There are various insurers and there are threads on this forum discussing the pros and cons of the different insurers. If you are into kite surfing then some places only accept certain insurances, have a read up. I have SPKA , they have a very fast turn around, it took 3 days until I received the key fob and that was over the New Year. The Common has been water logged for about 6 months, so we have been flying elsewhere, the coast and Cleeve Common (Cheltenham) have a look at the Flickr and You Tube accounts in my signature. You are more than welcome to join us. Edited January 26, 2013 by Chaos Quote
ginge20006 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 I will look into the insurance options open, I have an helmet but no pads has yet. If you can let me know the next time your going the coast or Cleeve I will try to make it. Thanks Paul. Quote
Chaos Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 No problems Paul, will PM you my mobile number Quote
ginge20006 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 Hi all, Just seeing if any one is out this week end? Later. Quote
Chaos Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 Wind is looking good for a trip to the Cotswold's this weekend. Quote
marc_aka_toker Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 yo guy's im over nuneaton i fly around sandon park and iv been over Hearsall common but it is hit and miss with the wind iv got a PL hornet II 4m looking into getting a Frenzy soon 9m or 11m i dont know yet i also fly over midlands air sports club (MASC) really nice guy's over there but it is a hour drive away so would like to meet up closer to home iv got a facebook page http://www.facebook.com/PowerKiteSitesUk so hope to hear from u lot soon Quote
midlandtony Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 hi, problem at the moment is the common is pretty water logged, most of the coventry guys tend to go to cleeve common, as its on a plateux it tends to be dryer and windier. It might be worth hooking up with one of us when we go and save fuel costs. Another place I sometimes go is the football fields in arley, its not that big but local and gets you used to turns and lumpy wind. Quote
midlandtony Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 Have just got the go ahead for Cleeve on Sunday if anyones up for it? Quote
Chaos Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 Tony, I am thinking Sat and Sun, are you thinking of an early start on Sunday? (God Damit ) Quote
tvrgreg Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 yep i am up for cleeve sat and sun, see you there tony, sounds like there will be a few of us there Quote
ginge20006 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 Yeah I'm up for it Sunday just need a near post code or town as I've never been before. What time was you thinking of getting there for? Quote
tvrgreg Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 yep thats fine we should be there about 10.30ish will check postcode in a min for ya. Quote
tvrgreg Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 cleeve hill cheltenham gloucestershire GL54, if you google map it and get directions you should be fine, but the lanes upto it are tricky so would advise satnav Quote
Chaos Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 Think we maybe there earlier than 10.30 on Sunday. Sent you a PM about directions. Quote
midlandtony Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 I like early lol. I think i might be there before 10.30. Quote
Chaos Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 What time Tony, before Sunrise? Do we need torches? Quote
