Sparkie Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Posted August 11, 2009 Here's the line up for the weekend... Friday acoustic sets from 8pm until midnight.. http://www.lodestarfestival.com/Pages/Day1.aspx Saturday from 2:30pm until midnight.. http://www.lodestarfestival.com/Pages/Day2.aspx Quote
Afro1599968737 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 with the event being first and foremost a music festival, are there any plans to have signs warning members of the public about the dangers of kiting and not to get too close, or for the main stage & kiting areas to be seperate? Quote
Dunc Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 Will it be business as usual (eg no festival) the following weekend (22nd/23rd)? Think i might be free one of those days and really want to give this place a go! Quote
SandMonster Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 is this gonna be the new 'Wallop'... Quote

Hi Afro the kiting will be on a different field and Dunc flying as normal the week after till the next music event. Quote
mick Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 is this gonna be the new 'Wallop'... Well it certainly seems like a dead on place. Wallop it may not be but I reckon its gonna be the best inland place we've got and from what I know of the regulars, its gonna be a super place to be. Me 4 1 am looking forward to a fly there init.

Tjah1087 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 best inland site ive ever flown. i Like this music festival/kite jam format! Quote
Guest Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 Will be nice to give it a go Friday eve! Quote
Afro1599968737 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 hey craig, will the flexi kites be up for demo on saturday or sunday, and will there be a AHpro to try? cheers Quote
martin Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 Looks like i'm coming & bringing 3 teenagers with me:eek:. What time do you think we can arrive & set up camp? Do you think we'll be able to sneak a quick sesh in on the Friday? Quote
martin Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 Is this festival in the events section, i didn't see it anywhere? Quote
Guest Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 The kiting is Friday only i Believe as thats the only day i am going . . . Will try and get an AH Pro for sure. Quote
martin Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 Just got an email which said the kite field is open all day Friday through to Sunday. YEAH BABY! Quote
Sparkie Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Posted August 12, 2009 Is this festival in the events section, i didn't see it anywhere? Sorry Martin this isn't in the events section because its a festivent (Mini music event) and not a kite only event. You can fly from Friday (Opening camping field about 10ish) to Sunday. So I thought it was more of a meet than a kite event. You will need the normal insurance for kiting here. A big Music festival with headline acts is imminent in the not to distant future. Quote
Uncle Posted August 15, 2009 Report Posted August 15, 2009 First two days have been pretty damn spot on and with Sunday looking as good, if you can make it for the last day of kiting in this sweet sweet spot then make sure you get your butt there!!! Quote

martin Posted August 17, 2009 Report Posted August 17, 2009 I had a great weekend & i'm interested in coming up again for a camp over, i won't be bringing the kids again though. They take too much looking after. I liked The Winter kings too, was listening to their CD on the way to work this morning. Shame there wasn't more people though, if the owner made a loss does that mean there won't be any more? Quote

martin Posted August 17, 2009 Report Posted August 17, 2009 Did i miss any shenanigans/decent bands in the last couple of hours? Was nodding off on the journey home:eek: Quote

Dunc Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 Anyone heading up this Sunday? Looking to give Lode a try for the first time that day and just want to know if anyone else will be going along who can show me the lay of the land. Weather looks good for that day even if we're only predicted 12mph winds but i'm hoping i should still be able to get rolling with me 4.7. If not does anyone wanna lend me something bigger! Quote
