There was a bit of rain in the air on my way up to the Sun in the Sands junction but it had passed by the time I arrived on Blackheath.

The NNE breeze was light but steady 6 rather than 8mph but I didn’t measure it.  Full sail 1.5s with race rods were just right and we flew for an hour or so before the cold crept in to Martin’s finger tips.  He was more than ready to stop but was determined that it should not be his call.

I had taken the Hex Pilot kite that I made in 2019 and flew successfully last spring but was not inclined to get it any more ‘muddy’ than it is already.  It was one of those days underfoot!

Berck will not be going ahead and I’m thinking that Cervia must be unlikely given the current state of the Pandemic.  I would expect to hear about Dieppe sometime in March if not before so there should not be any great urgency to get a new passport now.  My current one expires in August.
