keepitwicked Posted February 27, 2003 Report Posted February 27, 2003 I am in the process of deciding which university to go to, but am not sure about where there is to buggy near them. The final choices are: a) Imperial - South Kensington, London b) Bristol c) Southhampton Does anybody buggy near there or know of any buggy clubs etc.? Or even better has anybody gone to any of these unis? Cheers, keepitwicked Quote
WildGecko Posted March 2, 2003 Report Posted March 2, 2003 Bristol's got a pretty good Kite scene, 2 locations to buggy within 2 miles of the city centre (Ashton Court and the Downs) and Weston and Selsley only 45 mins away. No clubs, most people arrange to meet up on this forum. Si Quote
johnson Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 Hi, I go to university at Kingston and Buggy in Richmond park, I also was over in Bristol at the weekend and was using Aston, however it has a golf course on and restricts the amount of space. Both very good tho. Bristol is also a very nice City. Hope that helps Quote
penance Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 lol, yea Bristol is a lovely city just slightly spoilt by the muggings, crack heads, shootings and police with attitude problems apart from that i love living here there are good places to fly/buggy like those mentioned above Quote
fox 2 Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 even better to fly in bristol when me and penance are there to make fools of our selves! wheres that raptor mate???? Quote
rayens Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 Nice to see you are awake m8! If you can get through the ghetto and the police blocks, probably see you at the weekend Meanwhile Bristol, as Si (WG)says we are pretty spoilt for good flying round here. The Downs is in the city so easy to get to for a quickie, there are always people there Ashton Court is now developing a healthy community most weekends and is excellent on those sunny evenings in the summer. Also on the edge of the City (5-8min drive from the Uni) Also holds very large Kite Festival in August Weston Super Mare - good flat beech for buggys and wind (25-35 drive) Brean - even bigger version of WSM Selsley - On a hill with lots of good wind - mainly from the Massive that meet there as you are bound to have seen on these posts. Excellent place for everything and about 40 minutes away. then of course you can go across the bridge to Pendine, Barry etc etc. We also seem to have a pretty large group of flyers in the area - often have 20+ flying at any one place so good social meets as well. HANG ON A Minute - why am I telling you this - we will be inundated with people, run out of space, get banned, be forced onto football fields, have to sell our kites, take up knitting merkins. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On second thoughts dont go to Bristol:D :D Quote
fox 2 Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 don't g to bristol uni go to UWE and mix with us riff raff! lol we're the real party animals! Quote

pauljarvis Posted March 6, 2003 Report Posted March 6, 2003 Where abouts in Richmond Park can you buggy? My parents still live there so might give it a go one day? As I remeber it, it's all trees or hills. Quote
johnson Posted March 7, 2003 Report Posted March 7, 2003 There are four or five size rugby pitches and then rougher grass around the outside, I go their quite alot, a fair amount of space. Its located on the North side of the park, can't remember which gate it is near! Hope that helps Quote
