So we were finally able to go to Blackheath and fly kites today.  The last time was the first weekend in January!

The forecast had been good during the week but it looked as if the windspeed was likely to be less than originally suggested.  When I arrived at 10:15am there was very little air movement but having walked to our usual location and looked around a slight breeze kicked in from the NW.

I set up a Zen and was soon joined by Martin and Maggie but the wind was intermittent.  I had hoped to fly the late JMH Composite Kite (Della Porta): Four Squares but had also taken the Peter Malinski Modell Deutsche Seewarte 1904 x 0.65.  It is a low wind kite so I set it up and we all flew it.  It is a delightful kite to fly in low wind conditions and very responsive to flier input.  We had Ron Miles, ‘Rainbow Sign’ as accompaniment today and that worked very well.

We ended with a Zen session with Terry Riley ‘Tread on the Trail’ and ‘Salome Dances for Peace: V. Good Medicine, Good Medicine Dance’ as our accompaniment.

A glorious day!
