ChrisGlover Posted September 8, 2004 Report Posted September 8, 2004 Are there any people here who are at or are going to Loughborough Uni this year? Been there for 2 years already and I 'found' kiting at the end of the last academic year! Just wondering if there will be anyone to fly with on the unusually windy days in Lboro! Quote
Westwood Posted September 8, 2004 Report Posted September 8, 2004 seeing as we are on a uni topic.. hull uni anyone? Quote
craikeybaby Posted September 8, 2004 Report Posted September 8, 2004 You should go to Northampton uni, there isn't a club (yet) but it is accross the road from the main kiting place in town Quote
MCA Posted September 8, 2004 Report Posted September 8, 2004 I was at L'boro a long time ago....can't you go fly off the top of "towers"! Quote
Kris1599968632 Posted September 9, 2004 Report Posted September 9, 2004 I was at Lufbra 93-97! If you're struggling for wind head past The Purple Onion and LCR towards Royce Hall. It was always windy there We called it Windy Corner! Just next to Whitworth iirc. Sorry I can't help with the original question though Quote
Jonny Skyman Posted September 10, 2004 Report Posted September 10, 2004 grrrrr damn students get everywhere don't they?? Whats the matter with you guys, theres no need for fresh air. Surely you should be sitting around all day eating cold/stale pizza and playing on the PS2? Quote
SkintMonkey Posted September 10, 2004 Report Posted September 10, 2004 THinking to go to loughborough next year to maybe study biology:D May see you there...you never know.. sorry no help again either...... Quote
KiteEatingTree Posted September 10, 2004 Report Posted September 10, 2004 May be there next year.. not as a student but with the British Transplant Games which will be based on the campus.. If anyone wants to come along and fly kites and support as possible part of the festivities they might like to check out.. http://users.argonet.co.uk/body/btgs.html or http://www.mytransplant.co.uk/british_games.htm KET Quote
Radnor Posted September 10, 2004 Report Posted September 10, 2004 There's a couple of people in the motorbike club at Loughborough with kites, have a word at the freshers bazaar. We usually go to a field just of the A6, cant remember the name unfortunately but its not walking distance from campus. Hope that helps Quote
Steve1599968621 Posted September 10, 2004 Report Posted September 10, 2004 You'll have a cool kitestore just down the road www.airbossworld.co.uk !!! (East Leake, about 6 miles from Lboro) Wwwwaaaaayyyy past my student years, but I'm in the Airboss Club (Club Boss) and a few of the members are Lough students. There's a good community of kiters based around the store/club. Pop in the shop and speak to Gary and Elly. Quote
ChrisGlover Posted September 10, 2004 Author Report Posted September 10, 2004 Thanks for the help guys, I'll go hunting for fellow flyers once I'm back on campus at the end of the month! Quote
