Spudley Posted May 17, 2008 Author Report Posted May 17, 2008 Looking at the wind forecast it looks like tomorrow might be offering a good morning / early afternoon session in a NE... never been to Avon beach before. Anyone up for a visit? At a stag night tonight, but may need to get some fresh air tomorrow. Will check here in the morning to see what is planned.
Noo Noo Posted May 17, 2008 Report Posted May 17, 2008 Think I'll go with the Spark / ouch method....................... On Poxy call
Noo Noo Posted May 17, 2008 Report Posted May 17, 2008 what is the spark / ouch method? Work on the premise that sparks aren't good, smoke is worse, flames are a disaster (run away). If nothing happens - touch it.... if you go ouch its still wrong........... Oh yes, swearing is allowed at all stages of the test procedure

Anyone up for a visit? Mark I could be up for it tomorrow, seems like ages since I have been out. Let me know your plans.
mark o Posted May 17, 2008 Report Posted May 17, 2008 Okey Dokey Am at a wedding party tonight so it will not be an early start... will let you know.
Spudley Posted May 17, 2008 Author Report Posted May 17, 2008 Hi this is Spudley's wife. Paul has just called me from the stag do that he has been on for the past 11 hours (still 3 1/2 hours to go!) - you can imagine how good the conversation was! Anyway, just to let you know that unfortunately it would appear that he will not be in any fit state for kite surfing tomorrow. Feel free to let him know what he missed out on while he was suffering Tracey
Spudley Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Posted May 18, 2008 What does she know. home from said stag do. feeling fine and about to down at least 2 pints of water. we shall see. although she IS the 'guvnor' and i will obey her wishes. (hope its sunny and she fancies a day at the beach) yours hopefully,Spudley.
Spudley Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Posted May 18, 2008 ^^^ must be the BEER talking. how dare me over step the mark. I feel an afternoon of lawnmowing may be in order. Silly ME thinking i could make plans without APPROVAL. Tracey. (Just to save her replying in the morning)
Sway07 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 I am visiting my sister in basingstoke today and she wants to try out my kite, any suggestions where is good to fly? Sarah
Spudley Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Posted May 18, 2008 I take it the beach is not happening spud! Not a chance, hangover from hell, ALL day. Must be getting old. Anyone else get out today?
Noo Noo Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 I dug a big hole instead.................. Literally. Another Noo Noo scheme to start a vege patch. Had nothing to do with the alcohol eh Spuds. At least say you managed to cut the grass.
DjMoz Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 I am visiting my sister in basingstoke today and she wants to try out my kite, any suggestions where is good to fly? Sarah Sorry Sarah, missed your post. The wind is at its worst for the normal Basingstoke spot (North Easterly)so it is wherever you can find with enough space that you think can work. A bit late I know. In future the best spot around is part of the crabtree plantation, just by blackdam ponds and the M3. DM
DjMoz Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 New kite arrived, should arrive home to find a new bar. I will be out on Tuesday evening to test it out and set up the bar if anyone is around no wind but should be a slight breeze. DM
Noo Noo Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 I'll bring my pump. Bout as much wind as you'll get I reckon. Guaranteed windcurse I reckon. New kite + holiday I've got a demo on the way too. Realised this morning that I went a bit too mad yesterday. yes I managed to get out of the hole I dug but I'm a physical wreck today. EXCELLENT. I'll do more this evening.
Spudley Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Posted May 19, 2008 What you got coming on demo NN? board or kite? will try and get over crabtree on tuesday to see the new toys..
Noo Noo Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 2008 12m RISE (venturi) on demo. All welcome to try. hoping it will be here for the weekend but forecast is POOOOOOO 1. Thought I'd give it a go as I cant make my mind up. Will I get over my new found bridle predujices? 2. i know of a couple of others looking for kites up north so I'm doing my duty at the same time. Spuds. Had a wee chuckle at previous posts. Imagining the conversation trying to get Tracey to log on and convince all is well. Top drawer....
Spudley Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Posted May 19, 2008 Remarkably coherant as well when i consider just how much drinking was involved during that session.
Noo Noo Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 Remarkably coherant as well when i consider just how much drinking was involved during that session. I love this been guilty of it myself. From whos point of view were you coherent? DM urgent request. Can you ask your gardening guru how I improve a lumpy clay soil? Some (strangely only some of it) of my hole is a lumpy clay stuff, difficukt to break down. I read somewhere that mixing in grass clippings might be a good idea. Got some compost too. S'pose sand is an option but I dont really know.
DjMoz Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Urgent: Has anybody got a tow rope? or something similar? Before tomorrow morning!
Noo Noo Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 I can get one over the weekend. Otherwise i'm stumped
Noo Noo Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 ooh quick. Spuds are you still able to burn dvd's and stuff DM I want to borrow that last B Wilson Film again
