Hi Guys
Good responses there! Thanks....
I am in West Swindon and use Lydiard mostly.
I was in contact with WHKF last year and intend to go to a monthly meet sometime.
I also left a comment on the most famous 80+ year old kite flier in the world's web site...Ray Bethall.......and got a personal answer back! What a guy!
I hope to get a Benson Superfly this year, plus an Airbow for the hell of it. I have spoken to Tim, but order is a way off yet. I need spare dosh...and got a £1200 shed to order first....
But I think I will get an HQ Jive 2 for now.......just to practice....lawn darts!
I will be offshore again soon, but I will catch up later and give you a nod for your offers...
....thanks for that.
I also used to live in Cheltenham....sister still does..Uckington. She lives on Uckington farm and I will try flying there and maybe up Cleeve hill?...mmm
I took my whole bag down to Australia to see family over Xmas and new year, but local area was really bad for wind and not nice to fly in 40C like I did....very bad idea...I got very ill when I overheated! I left a few kites down there for the lads (6 & 9) to get them going.
But the main aim for me is to get the tricks and it is not easy alone. Not easy with the wrong kite either!....I am learning the hard way...
So I will be in touch in a month or so.....
Marcus
