Spent a pleasant day at this, but with no wind we mostly played with the pterydactyl. Had a go at the pairs routine but the wind died in the middle

Yea shame the wind was up and down and in 4 different directions at times but it was a nice day and it didnt rain which is always a bonus. You was coping very well keith until as you say the wind just died mid routine.

Yeah the lack of wind was a shame as it was a pleasant day otherwise. We had prepaired new routines etc none of which could be flown. As we all know you can't control the weather and there's only so much walking backwards you can do before running out arena!

My kids and I had a great day! It was great seeing you all fly and I even recognised a few people. Only time I made it into the arena was to help 'stackman Jon' launch his stack.
Thanks to everyone for putting on a great display.
