I am surprised you were out today SJ. The weather in Cheltenham was grim all day. What happened to the snow they were predicting for this region? Maybe we could get someone at the shop to give us a weather update in the morning. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

[wayned16]

I was at EKS all day yesterday was wet though, wind was up and down but not below 10mph with gusts upto around 20mph. Me and my mate was the only ones there all day, we had the field to our selves

 

I got some good practice in with my bar and landboard. I just need to practice how to keep the power on when i'm on my board. But think I learn't that from a dvd this morning, ride away from the kite keeping the lines tight and the power on.

Hi Carl, I live in Castle Bromwich, I fly at the Lickey Hills at the moment and sometimes fly in a local park near where I live and been to EKS once and feel I will be flying there a bit more often.
