There was drizzle in the air on the hill up to ‘Sun in the Sands’ roundabout but it had stopped by the time we got out onto the ‘heath’.

The wind was forecast at 13mph upwards so I had extracted the team RSS set so that we could get some ‘hands on’ time if conditions were appropriate.  That was certainly the case today and I think that we all appreciated the ‘forgiving’ wind range of these kites.

Nothing called but there was a lot of close and slow interaction interspersed with faster broader moves as well as some interesting stacking.  Curiously the holes in these kites allow an element of ‘overlapping’ in a way which would not be possible with ‘full’ sails.

We were treated to some ‘silly coloured’ dramatic cloud scapes as well as a persistent rainbow and a couple of light showers before most of the low cloud cleared and left us in very bright sunlight!
