Big Daddy Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Posted February 15, 2008 So, here we are again. Did any of the boarders go to Ho! then? Seemed to be not much wind anywhere. Looking like Easterly 10-15mph this weekend, so probably a bit lumpy. Can I have my buggy back? Shall I collect it? Do't know if you have been looking at Steve & Sarah's blog. Makes some interesting reading. Go here: http://kitetheworld.blogspot.com/ And, I'm not saying I am jealous or 'owt, but gdmfsob;) Quote
jimabbey Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 I see the good lord hath blesed us with some wind for tomorrow, anyone out tommorrow? I plan to be there around 1000am :) Quote
Big Daddy Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Posted February 23, 2008 Been flipping cracking out there today. Only the hardcore there though. Where is everyone? I reckon I must have clocked 50mph at one point. Shame I didn't have the gps to prove it:rolleyes:. Aching all over, hope I've got some energy left for tomorrow...... Quote
jimabbey Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 It was very good wasn't it? I recon I was doing over 90 MPH with a passenger on board, shame I didn't have a GPS to prove it though. In fact, here is my buggy speedo from today http://www.winstonmotorsports.com/images/bigstockphoto_Speedometer_At___Mph_291241.jpg Quote
Big Daddy Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Posted February 24, 2008 ...just had official confirmation from a guy who was trying to keep up with me yesterday that my top speed was indeed 148mph. A new record I believe. http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/8079/bigdbuggyspeedek4.jpg Quote
Big Daddy Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Posted February 24, 2008 Anyone out after lunch to try and top that? Just going to prepare my superfast bug for today's conditions. Quote

V-Max Rider Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Does anyone know what the weather is doing this weekend, is there a chance of me reaching the 200mph mark like you so called pro's!! P.S I have been working and have alot of studying to do, thats my excuse for not being out. Quote
Big Daddy Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Posted February 28, 2008 At the mo, Saturday looks like it could be a bit nice:D:D Saturdayhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/images/symbols/fiveday_sym/1.gif http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/images/symbols/fiveday_sym/wind/WNW.gif22 mph Quote
V-Max Rider Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 Martin are you out then tomorrow, I will try to be there as early as possible. Is Mike & Jim out for a session? Quote
Big Daddy Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Posted February 29, 2008 Is Mike & Jim coming out? Whoa, bit personal you will have to ask them? As for me, I will be out....possibly. Just going to look up the weather now. Quote
Big Daddy Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Posted March 1, 2008 Looking good boys. See you down there in a bit:D:D Quote
Big Daddy Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Posted March 2, 2008 Whooppeee, what a brill day yesterday. Good to see a lot of the gang re-appearing again:cool:. It really did pick up and then drop off and pick up again. Was 3metre weather after you left Jim, I went home at 5pm:eek:. Just a small 7 hour session!! I do ache a bit though.... Have looked at the filming and I should be able to put something together. It seemed to be quite shakey on the back of your buggy, but I know that he was probably hanging on with the other hand!! Anyone out later? Looks similar, but a bit less:p Quote
V-Max Rider Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Still got a painful shoulder from yesterdays outing and flying lesson. I have found my self a snatch block with shackle on the internet, and it is on it's way to me, paid just over £40 all inclusive. (should be hear by Friday). Weather looked good today but I don't think the shoulder would have taken it!! Should be out next weekend for another good session. Quote
Big Daddy Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Posted March 4, 2008 As mooted on Saturday, pub session on Thursday evening for all who would like a swift half!! Just been looking at forecast for South Wales on Saturday, and it looks like WIND and rain:(. Not sure whether it would be a good idea to travel, lets keep an eye on what's happening. Quote
Big Daddy Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Posted March 7, 2008 mmmmm...... can I have some more Summer Lightning please? Tasty... Quote

Big Daddy Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Posted March 13, 2008 Hiya Mr Stiffler, ain't seen you around for yonks. How's the old married life? About time you were let out down here to see your 'mates' Wallop news isn't good, especially as it was our local fest. Anyone around for tasting sessions on Friday night? Looks like there may be a bit of precipitation at the weekend:mad:. I need a beach trip with some sun and wind please. Quote
