avspider Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 The vid going well, but i DO need alot more footage. I have dropped the res down a little, but good for full pc screen size.
martin Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 The grass is short'ish at the mo & the agent asked how short we would want it. With a bit of luck the cutting of the grass might be included 'cos it looks like they're doing it now. I don't really want to pay £50 either, i was hoping to use it for free but you don't get anything for free these days, £20 - £30 would be better. I've got Monday off so with a bit of luck i'll go down there & take some photos & check out the ground & stuff.
adz medic Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 wot time on monday m8 as im off and live really local to that site i think 20 and 30 is fair if they keep the grass at the ideal height as part of the fee
martin Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Don't know what time yet, i'll have to speak to him, i'll let you know.
g0nz01599968659 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Cool, let us know how you go on with it. Dan
CrashMatt Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 I'll pop down for a nose too as I'm off monday, just let us know what time. £20-30 sounds reasonable to me, particularly as its really local.
martin Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 The land agent didn't get back to me yesterday, i'm hoping he's contacting the owner. I'll phone him Monday morning & ask for a test fly/update. I'll arrange this for either Monday, Tuesday PM, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday AM. I'll post on here as soon i know;).
Free radical Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 Anyone flying today, I think its time to dust off the kites!!! Is LH usable at the mo? FR
g0nz01599968659 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 Hi Andy, LH is total SWAMP mode atm:rolleyes: We are gonna have a go on Weston Shore today as it should be a bit free draining - possibly. Might take the KS kite incase its muddy:D Dan
Free radical Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 What time you thinking of going mate?
g0nz01599968659 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 Be down there bout 12o/c:) or a bit earlier
Free radical Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 Sounds good with me. Where exactly is the site? And where do you park?
martin Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 WS is supprisingly well drained even though it's along the waters edge. Wish i wasn't at work or i would join you, although if it's blowing West you won't have much of a run. You must try the ramps while you're there.
Free radical Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 Hey Martin is there any restrictions in the country park near WS? I have played cricket there and the field is a good size? Do you think they would mind......?
martin Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 I think they might, this is a busy area & they have park wardens on site. Having said that i do know that people have buggied it before. Parking is expensive, if you get moved on i don't think they'll give you your money back;). You could always spend the rest of the day on the steam train:D. Or take your water stuff, you can launch from WS.
avspider Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 Martin, where's the best place to park for weston shore? Migh tpop down on the way out
T595 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 as the title suggests? Got a major session this evening (lots of very expensive wine ) in chichester and will be at PS late morning (10ish hopefully!!) tomorrow if anyone is around? Ahh the new hangove cure, flying ones kites...... p.s. if there is anyone around with a fat b'stard harness & depower kite i can borrow & try then just look out for the ugleeee yellow van at PS tomorrow:D
martin Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 Parking for WS is best at the pitch & putt end, although you can park either end of the field. Have fun & let me know how you get on.
martin Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 It's at the end of Weston lane. I tried posting a map link but my works PC won't open the map site. Got it to work now http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=50.886641~-1.374337&style=h&lvl=18&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=4323968&encType=1
CrashMatt Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 Martin, is weston Shore where there used to be a Tarmac RC track??
martin Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 That's the place, it's gone now & has some ramps
martin Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 Southampton kite festival........21 & 22 June 08. Book your time off now peeps:D.
