Chaos Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Went up Hearsall on Sunday for an hour 5ish, it was very water logged think it will need a week of no rain for the water to be absorbed / evaporate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvrgreg Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 yep i am up for some buggy action as mike says hearsall going to take some draining has been waterlogged for a few weeks now.

tvrgreg Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 checked the price out for mablethorpe haven golden sands holiday park right next to sanctury carpark 2nd or third week in september std 3 bedroom static, say 3 in a caravan room each no more than £100 each for the week or 4 day long weekend £50ish. loads of stuff on site bars, swimming pools and all that so looks good to me and nearest site to the beach enterance we need for kiting, would be looking to book mid august i reckon so plenty of time to sort things, maybe some want long weekend and some the week you choose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midlandtony Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Pembrey was absolutley perfect. 18 mph winds, sunshine and billiard board flat beach. Had a wicked day and got some good fast runs in. Chaos did some crazy long runs, and one point we thought he was lost. Gregs arms are now one inch longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Tony, Just watched some of your GoPro clips, you must be kin mad, the speed looks awesomely fast. I have soooo got to try it, great quality clips, the camera is great. I measured my first run, about 9 km or 5 1/2 miles return trip. Great to see Skulldude getting some airs at speed on his Unity How did you like my early morning riposte to your chirpy 4.55 am call ? Thanks for the lift and a visit to another great beach / flying destination, a beach area I will revisit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coventry Lot !! Good to see you all and great to have the company. Nice to see Mike having long runs. Brilliant onshore breeze and great location. Hope to see you more often down there.

mradubyamac Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Hi guys After seeing an LEI in action at Cleeve I'm really keen to get one as a move from my fixed bridle Blade IV 6.5m. It looked super stable in gusts and I like the fact that they won't collapse or bowtie which always happens with my Blade and is extremely annoying. I'd appreciate any words of advice if anyone is familiar with them for land use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
