After the c8:30am downpour in Hackney the blustery SW airstream continued today with thundery showers looming on the horizon.

The ‘heath’ was not as wet underfoot as last weekend. Vented sails with race rods were just about at the limit occasionally as were the same sails with four wrap rods in the lighter moments.

Rowan joined in with one of the iQuad practice set kites today and showed considerable resilience in dealing with unfamiliar situations and regaining control of the kite if things went wrong.

At c3:00pm back in Hackney the heavy rain is here again…

PS At 3:32 there was a flash of lightning and a rumble of thunder!
