louisemarson Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 Yesterday I was talking to someone 'in the know' and they revealed some interesting news about Wallop this year. Apparently we haven't got permission to fly there this year BUT they have managed to secure another site. Wallop will be on at Dunsfold Airport. Lots of open space and it's 99% secured for the May bank holiday weekend. Only problem is that Top Gear are filming there on the Saturday morning, so we can camp but not fly at this point in time. Flying can commence after they have filmed whatever they are shooting. The 'person in the know' has been told that Top Gear will need a small crowd of people to be an audience to an outside feature and will use willing people on the site- woo that means us! So no doubt all you car obsessed boys will be happy with this. You will get to see Top Gear being filmed, watch nice fast cars AND you can kite afterwards! As for the girls... well I think we all know where the attraction with Top Gear lies Edit: Maybe I should have put this in the Meets section. Quote
LetoII Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 Hmm, Wallop just won't be wallop without being at wallop, but watching top gear would be cool. Who knows, maybe we can convince them to feature kiting in the program, some form of challenge like they did with Leo Houlding in France (the climbing episode). Hey, at the end of the day, a festival is a festival! I wonder if not getting permission is a result of the littering last year? Or just general other factors. Ta for the info Lou, don't suppose they said when tickets were out as well did they? lol Quote
NatMoore Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 You could ask them to do a race Buggy and Kite vs Car!!! Then kiting will get featured in the program! Natty Quote

LetoII Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 Yeah that's kind of what I was thinking Natty, how cool would that be Hey just a thought, wonder if they'd let us use some very expensive camera kit for video purposes Quote
Docgreen Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 think when they see a few of us freestyleing it up it may make it on anyway ...hamster is into a bit of sport ... Quote
Craig Sparkes Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 Wasnt to sure when i heard it, 5mph and a bit of tarmac A&E and out for 8 weeks! That much tarmac ummm................. Could be deadly. Quote
LetoII Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 Thats just because you're a wuss craig! The racers will love it, and there's still a big load of the green stuff for the freestylers and boarders. Anybdy know if they've got the licence sorted then for the beer tent? Quote
