andelscott Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Located on the Dunstable Downs (near Luton / Dunstable), this year's kite festival spans the weekend of 16-17 July with a full performance programme. Limited camping facilities are available nearby (contact the Chiltern Gateway Centre for more details). It would not be unreasonable to anticipate a Megateam opportunity for Rev fliers present each day! Festival website - www.dunstablekitefestival.co.uk So - who's up for it??

pwmeek Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I like the design of this poll. It would be a nice format for any festival/gathering. However, I was unable to 'vote' as it requires a response in all sections. Since I said I was unable to come, it made no sense to check either day in the second section. It needs to either accept no check mark in the second section, or there needs to be a "Neither Day" or "Not Coming" choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Pete, didn't realise that was necessary - 'Neither' option now added to the second question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portlandflyer Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Hey Jason, don't worry if you don't have lines we'll have some spare. You got plenty of fliers for him to take out??!?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 You got plenty of fliers for him to take out??!?? Lets hope so, it'll divert attention from me taking everyone out !!! My favourite line at Portsmouth... Me to Susan of TFS. "Look at that idiot flying the Orange Decs kites !!" 2 hours later at Dinner. Susan to Me. "I didn't like to mention YOU were flying the Oranges Decs kite." Oh well DOH !!! Actually Jason is a good Rev flyer, he's flying up at Dunstable on a regular basis with The Flying Squad & the likes of Stone in Shoe, Andelscott etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonrharmer Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Oooo, thank you! (are you sure you are talking about the right person) Had a great afternoon today after a poor morning start. The wind was very strong, about 20mph gusting to 40+ at times I think. I got there just before 11 and no kites in the sky at all. Bumped into Derek after about 20 mins and Graham turned up shortly after. Unfortunately, in my eagerness to get my little rev II out, I didn't check the LE was seated properly and experienced it's failure about 0.25 seconds after launch. Luckily Gary very kindly lent me a teabag and Keith a set of 120' lines. Fantastic afternoon was had and some very good tuition for us numpties by Gary. Thankyou all. Many casualties at Dunstable today. The chap with a top end HQ who was warned it would break who then proceeded to launch and BANG, ball of washing on the end of his lines. Derek's full vent succumbed to the sharpness of spectra in strong winds with a cut through one of the outer panels, hope that can be repaired!

Stephen Hoath Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Reckon I might have a look.....What's the score on flying power-kites, am I gonna be OK to pack the Blades & Begos? TIA & All the best Andy S. No problem on power kites but buggies and land boards are banned. There will however, be lots of Rev fliers there.
