too much wind Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Aye, had a great snowkite session on saturday. 3 hours on this ridgeline http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q109/two_much_wind/hill.jpg with the wind blowing 20knots up the hill and a good covering of snow 30cm's oh and not another snowkiter in sight. bliss TMW Quote
Blast Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Posted January 21, 2013 Did a vid of Sunday unfortunately the battery died on the vid too early for the kiting but still got plenty of pics of us all.....more again tomorrow hopefully. Quote

StarKitesUK Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Arghh! So jealous, all my kites are out on trial. Getting with drawral symptoms now :-( Nice video & pics chaps Quote
Blast Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Posted January 21, 2013 Ah that sucks! I shouldn't really have been out but I couldn't resist it as it it's pretty rare to get the wind and snow together. Had the cast removed today though! Anyway...Mr.Starkites, have you seen this.................... http://www.kiteforum.com/download/file.php?id=50292 Quote
StarKitesUK Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Of course, that's me :-) .............. I wish! Great news about the cast, although it did give a bit of extra cool to the Video. Quote
crash addict Posted January 22, 2013 Report Posted January 22, 2013 Having been out of action since Christmas with a back injury, I went against medical advise and have been snow kiting today. All smiles and no pain, yippee!!! Hope the Missus doesn't find out though or she won't nurse me anymore. Quote
Nitro_uk Posted January 23, 2013 Report Posted January 23, 2013 Nice one Jack looked like a good sesh Quote
Blast Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Posted January 24, 2013 Well what a friggin' awesome day we had in the Brecon Beacons today....big long slow walk to the top of Pen-Y-Fan peak in deep soft snow, kited the plateau then I managed to snowkite all the way back to the carpark...bloody awesome. I was on a 7m but tbh should have taken up a 9m http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/398126_10151397832486294_1350083880_n.jpg http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/24446_10151397832716294_688972921_n.jpg http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/319843_10151397863106294_1523994940_n.jpg Quote
tobias Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 That's awesome. Walked Pen-Y-Fan a few years ago, awesome scenery there Quote
Blast Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Posted January 25, 2013 cheers tobias, still buzzing it could have been anywhere in the Alps really amazing up there. However my ankle is now proper swollen up :-( Quote
Blast Posted January 26, 2013 Author Report Posted January 26, 2013 A vid from the other day..we were on 7m's but should have taken 9m's up to the top. Still an amazing day with deep powder everywhere! Quote
cowboy54 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 Can't say im jealous at all Why did I leave Cardiff & Wales Quote
mick Posted January 28, 2013 Report Posted January 28, 2013 A vid from the other day..we were on 7m's but should have taken 9m's up to the top. Still an amazing day with deep powder everywhere! WOW !!! Even the dreaded journey was great. What fabulous scenery. And the SUPping at the end was even excellent. Quote
Blast Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Posted January 29, 2013 Haha, I take it you mean the pre riding sh*t! Shame the wind wasn't a bit stronger but we were hardly going to complain, a real one off day! Quote
StarKitesUK Posted January 29, 2013 Report Posted January 29, 2013 I liked it, just wish we had a mountain in the flat as a pancake South East! Quote
mick Posted January 29, 2013 Report Posted January 29, 2013 Haha, I take it you mean the pre riding sh*t! Shame the wind wasn't a bit stronger but we were hardly going to complain, a real one off day!. Well tbh Marc, the actual action was a tad lame but wholly the vid was great. The scenery was staggering.It was amazing to think this was England Quote
StarKitesUK Posted January 29, 2013 Report Posted January 29, 2013 Mick are you being deliberately provocative? :-) Quote
