.TheBeest. Posted March 19, 2005 Author Report Posted March 19, 2005 naa sorry mate i cant do this sunday, im out mountainboarding. Iv been out kiting most weekdays tho, so if anyway can do a weekday after 4 then please let me know. Quote
zebedee Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 Made it down to Windsor park, Wind was a little light and there must have been a thousand footballers down there but it provided light entertainment for a couple of hours. Quote
.TheBeest. Posted March 20, 2005 Author Report Posted March 20, 2005 hey zebedee, i just realised your new, welcome to the forums dude! what you are saying about football, its always a problem, my college has got a nice big field but its covered in footy all the time. Do you know Trysull, just outside of Wombourne? Quote
zebedee Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 I know Trysull, lived in Wombourne for the first 21 years of my life till I grew legs and walked I have spotted your other posts about Trysull, and was hoping you where going to share your find with me, Quote
.TheBeest. Posted March 20, 2005 Author Report Posted March 20, 2005 Ye ill share it dude, thats what this thread is all about. You are welcome to come down any time you want. You might have seen this pic, I mainly fly in the fields to the left of the picture, in the big yellow (now green) field by the greyish square (like a farmers carpark). Ill keep updating this thread and maybe make a new one in the groups bit. We should be down there tomorow after 4 if the weather is good. http://www.thebeest.dsl.pipex.com/temp/pic/Trysull.png whereabouts did you live in Wombourne, im down the bratch. hope to see you around here soon dude. where can you fly in Dudley? I dont think theyd be much space in dudley, you have got the powerkiteshop just roundthe corner in Oldbury tho, thats got to be a bonus, but there are one or two nice fields around by me. So when you can come down, please let me know and ill try to get my mate down and we can have a good session. What do you fly anyway? The park is okish for boarding, but not mcu else, and i rekon you could buggy in the field. Quote
Zotty Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 hey guys .. willenhall myself.. gunna have to come join up with ya one of the days,, any one wanna pm me some distructions from willenhall? also just a thought as you all seem to be across the boarder from brum (including my self) how about ya becoming the bcf crew black country flyers crew ? ? as the midlands is a bit broad if ya know wot i'm saying .. ya got the cov flyers... ya got the sp flyers (brum) stafford flyers.. stoke flyers.. get my drift lol.. but the black country got no flyers ... i fly as part of the sutton park flyers but wouldnt mind flying a bit more local every now n then.. always good to meet new faces :D Quote
zebedee Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 Black Country Flyers sounds like it could provide some light entertainment, any one got any ideas ? Quote
.TheBeest. Posted March 21, 2005 Author Report Posted March 21, 2005 Ye this sounds pretty sweet. Im all for it, we just need a nice big spot, my one at trysull is pretty big, but we could do with something in the middle of all of us like... any ideas? Quote
zebedee Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 There is not a great deal of space around Dudley, Windsor park will be OK once the football has finished, but I don't know when that is going to be as I don't play myself. I will have a look around and see what I can find. Quote
.TheBeest. Posted March 21, 2005 Author Report Posted March 21, 2005 Let me know how it goes. But you guys should be allright coming down to trysull anyway. Quote

zebedee Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 I have found out where that land is Mailed the guy last night and he has replied with the following The picture is of Sedgley Beacon. The structure top right is an underground reservoir, with the entrance to the 'works' clearly visible. The road is the A459 road from Dudley to Wolverhampton, unsurprisingly called Wolverhampton Road. The roughly triangular patch of green on the right is known as The Vista as the following Multimap reference shows. http://www.multimap.com/map/photo.cgi?client=public&X=392000&Y=294250&width=500&height=310&gride=&gridn=&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=ap&pc=&zm=0&scale=10000&up.x=187&up.y=5 I'm off to London for the weekend but will check it out next week when i'm back.

.TheBeest. Posted March 28, 2005 Author Report Posted March 28, 2005 There a problem with Sedgley... Its full of Chavs. You dudes need to come down the the field sometime, it would be great to have even more kites in the air, we had 3 up on friday and it was pretty sweet. So... name a date and we can hoop up and go fly Quote
zebedee Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 I'm down in London at the moment but hope to get some flying in next weekend and I wanna learn how to use my landboard so hoping the weather is good we should get some in at the weekend and trysall sounds as good as anyother place. Quote
.TheBeest. Posted March 28, 2005 Author Report Posted March 28, 2005 ye sure that sounds good to me, im not planning too far ahead in these holidays, so everything might change by the weekend, but if its windy im there. Quote
zebedee Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 anyone got any ideas on what the weather is doing over the weekend, trying to work out which would be the better day to try and get some flying in. Quote
.TheBeest. Posted March 31, 2005 Author Report Posted March 31, 2005 Metoffice - B'ham If the rain holds off, sunday could be alrite, but have a look at monday, that could be something pretty sweet, again if the rain holds off. Quote
zebedee Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 Was aiming for sunday, you going to let me know where this place is in trysall and I will see what i can do about getting more than 3 kite's in the air for you Quote
