avspider Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 It's a bit quiet in here these days? I hope you buggynuts are well? If anybody is at a loose end the weekend it's the first round of the pka at Hoylake if you fancied watching/joining in, there's plently of spaces in the open class ;-) Quote
Sir Harvo Posted November 16, 2011 Report Posted November 16, 2011 I think Jim and Nick have both got buggies again, perhaps they will come and play... I fancy coming to take some pictures sometime, but can't make this weekend as hoping to go to Rollerburn, another former passtime... Quote

Yeah I've heard they have buggies etc, but it seems to of gone quiet now it's turning to winter lol. There's always the Ainsdale race in Feb, I'm not sure where the March race is yet Quote
weaponxrob Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 only another 2-3 weeks then the N-E erlys will kick in or couple of weeks after that things seem to be happening abit later than normal just lately Quote

Pilgrim Posted January 28, 2012 Report Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Hello there...thought I'd take a peek for old times sake and it's like I'd never been away. Last time I was here (nearly 3 years ago I guess) most peeps were selling or had sold up, but it appears the bug has bitten again - maybe time to dig out those old Flexi Bullets :-) My last kiting experience was with Nick's old 12m Frenzy, just a bit of free-flying at Huttoft with the kids. Very light wind (my daughter was flying it and she's about 8 stones) but it didn't stop me landing awkwardly and tearing some knee ligaments. The knee's been dodgy ever since and I've had to be a bit careful with it, but I'm getting the urge to get out there - I presume Mable is still the place to be?

weaponxrob Posted January 29, 2012 Report Posted January 29, 2012 some of us are still here i've been mostly at hunstanton on the water, i found that i get out more as the wind is mostly SW and it doesn't matter about tide times or if it rains.......not that stopped us anyway do you still fly at butterwick park? Quote
Pilgrim Posted January 29, 2012 Report Posted January 29, 2012 ...do you still fly at butterwick park? Haven't flown anywhere since nadging my knee, I don't reckon airborne tricks are for my age group lol. Butterwick is kite-friendly but not big enough for buggy cruising which is all us saga types are fit for, if I dig the kites out though I'll pop down for a bit of practice. Quote
weaponxrob Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 cool, i was intending to pop over when we had the snow but there was no wind Quote
avspider Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 Have you old folk gone into hibination again? Quote

weaponxrob Posted May 6, 2012 Report Posted May 6, 2012 is everyone still in hibernation ? come on winters been and gone, anyone flying this summer????? Quote
Smogthemog Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Posted May 7, 2012 Got all the stuff Rob just hardly any time to actually get out there! There has however been quite a few 'on shore' Mable's just recently that we have missed Need to get out!!!!! Quote
coupese Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 I'm no longer getting email notifications of this thread and my original 'coupe-se' account cannot post or send pm's ............ anyone else got these issues? Quote
coupe-se Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 Finally managed to get a post on here! I created a new account and tried posting ........ it had to go via the mods before being displayed, so not sure if it will appear or not. Had to alter my email address to get to be able to post. I no longer get email notifications of posts on here, perhaps it was email address issues also. Life is so busy that i haven't had time to go kiting or buggy'ing. Work is quite insane and have been working weekends, evenings and early mornings. I ended up refusing to work from 11pm till 6pm for month period and then have to pick up the rest of my workload during the day. Fatherhood is great with Jenson not long celebrating his 2nd birthday, but my god it swallows up your spare time!! Long story but i thought i'd found vicky dead on the kitchen floor a couple of weeks ago with blood pouring from her head, eyes wide open, mouth wide open with a broken tooth and no sign of life and floppy like a rag doll. Scared the living wotzit out of me but she's on the mend now and is going to have a nice scar on her brow! Determined to get the Frenzys out at Ferry Meadows when it stops raining and make a day for a Mablethorpe run. Jenson has no fear and is really into anything physical and exciting ....... he's going to be a kiter without a doubt and will be screaming for a go on my kites when i get out Hope everyone is happy, well and cheerful!!

weaponxrob Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 Scary s**t dude good to her vicky's on the mend though Didn't realise you was that busy at work hope it keeps up, site works getting abit slow at the minute well all fits and starts hunstanton is still good though for westerlys. but yeah if theres any north easterlys then i'm gonna have to make a trip over to mablethorpe i aint been in ages. manages to pick up a cheap 2009 3m flexifoil atom ..(yes i know its a flexi) for the kids, Jade wants the board and Kieran wants the buggy although i've set up the buggy on the shortest setting and he just can't quite reach the foot rest properly:rolleyes: Quote
coupe-se Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 Hi Rob, all the trades/companies we work are extremely busy and say it is more like it used to be. Building sites around stamford and P'boro are popping up and building at a fair rate of knots. I've been working at a local stately home since February which has been really interesting and lucrative for my company. You bought a Flexi???? Bloomin eck Rob, what a shocker! Look forward to seeing you again ........ hopefully on a beach with a kite in my hand. Quote
weaponxrob Posted May 17, 2012 Report Posted May 17, 2012 yeah sites have been popping up but they build in fits and starts i'm over in oakham on the lindum homes site (flag ship site they hoping for NHBC award for the site) and it's not going quick enough really, think i need to start looking at something else btw i've done me C&G solar PV coarse end of last year so might try and do abit of that for a bit. winds looking a bit pants this weeekend hopefully next weekend will be better have you managed to get out at ferry meddows?
