12,500 runners did the half marathon around Hackney last weekend. I’m not doing the Dunwich Dynamo next weekend. (EDIT actually the weekend after on the 12th July!)

Saving it for next year <grins>

Typical sunny summer Blackheath wind today. All over the place, certainly until the abrupt transition at about 1:00pm from sunny day to gray and overcast… The breeze was generally from the NW so we were flying into the sun until the cloud cover consolidated.

Mostly mid vented 1.5 with race but Ashley flew the full vented with diamond rods, eventually handing the kite to Rowan towards the end of the session when the breeze strengthened.

We had a bit of a puzzle today trying to remember one of the staple moves from Cervia which involved one pair of the four doing a ‘radar up’ and the other pair ‘radar down’ with a direct transition to a 180 rotation.

Some things are easy on the beach when one has all the time in the world!
