midlandtony Posted May 11, 2012 Report Posted May 11, 2012 I might be over after 2 wayne, weather looks ok. Quote
Chaos Posted May 11, 2012 Report Posted May 11, 2012 Should be over mid afternoon as have chores to do in the morning. Wind was very lumpy and challenging tonight with some big changes in direction and gusts. If your coming through wayned16 please pack the Toxic as I would like to try a comparison with the 6.5 method. Cheers Quote
Chaos Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 Ryan, First time I have managed to watch a video of Norway as the other posts were on a stream my PC struggles to decode. Have you booked yet? Quote
D3bug Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 Really missing kiting these past few windy days with little rain... Exams and coursework suck... Quote
Chaos Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 damian9 have sent you a PM wayned16, nice to meet you, the wind was quite challenging today. Quote
Bunny87 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 Really missing kiting these past few windy days with little rain... Exams and coursework suck... Chin up Dave. Wont last forever. May try another Cleeve Friday sess soon will give you a shout. Quote
Bunny87 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 wayned16, nice to meet you, the wind was quite challenging today. Challenging in so much as they werent challenging enough, but yes it makes it hard work when it's not on. Sure it'll be better tomorrow Quote
Chaos Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 Dave, A post at 6:52 I would like to think that's when you got up, but I know different. You haven't had any strange urges for drinking human blood have you ?? Don't worry it will soon be over for another year, then you can have looooads of flying time => Good luck Quote
skipperoo Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 Lovely to see you guys at cleeve today, shame the weather wasn't with us but still a giggle, and thank-you Mike for the loan of the flows, hopefully I will do them justice at the beach :-) Quote
Chaos Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 Sam, My pleasure, I hope the wind is kind to you on your holiday and they give you big smiles. The wind was rather lumpy today, was travelling quickly with the 4m just about at the zenith. Damian enjoyed the Common. I think he will be up again, he enjoyed the winds and flying area Have a video that shows him and some brief glimpses of Naf getting some airs, will upload later. Cheers Quote
Bunny87 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 Hope you guys had a good one, and glad Damian got over to Cleeve. I was on the common for a couple of hrs and got some decent wind. Had to keep my eye on some ugly clouds that brought some strong winds my way which was fun with the 11m but it got a bit too scary, so as i was on my own i did the sensible thing (for once) and packed up and went had a breakfast in a cafe round the corner. But a decent couple of hrs flying and some fast runs. Quote
Chaos Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 Twas the worst gusty winds I have experienced at Cleeve, but it was worth it Edit Vid will be posted in about 2 hours Quote
damian9 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Posted May 14, 2012 I had a really good day yesterday at Cleeve Hill and if it was one of the worst winds you experienced there Mike I can't wait to fly in normal wind conditions! Anyway, thank you for introducing me to the new kiteboarding spot and I am sure I will be flying there often. Where can I watch the video? Quote
adyziv Posted May 14, 2012 Report Posted May 14, 2012 Where can I watch the video? Try here: HearsallKiteCrowd - YouTube Quote
damian9 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Posted May 14, 2012 I used an Android GPS app to track my kiteboarding session yesterday. Worked really well! Top speed 40.5kph (25mph) Quote
Bunny87 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Posted May 14, 2012 I used an Android GPS app to track my kiteboarding session yesterday. Worked really well! Top speed 40.5kph (25mph) 25 mph very nice, and the video footage looked good. Quote
damian9 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Posted May 17, 2012 After last weekend I can't wait to fly next time... How about evening session (after work around 6pm) at hearsall common tomorrow? it's going to be quite windy - 15-31mph Quote
davo23 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Posted May 17, 2012 Is it going to rain? If not then im there. Quote
damian9 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Posted May 18, 2012 No rain in the weather forecast so far. Wind 14-29mph. I should be there around 6pm. Quote
davo23 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Posted May 18, 2012 Ill be there at 5ish Was there yesterday evening static flying my VIP, was next to no wind but still pretty scary at times! They've mown the grass as well, it seems to be drying a lot faster than it used to. Quote
damian9 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Posted May 18, 2012 yes, I've seen them mowing the grass yesterday morning on my way to work. I should be there before 6 but looking at the forecast I can see light rain around 7... Hopefully metoffice is wrong Quote
