Felix Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 As you seem to be organising it then it follows that you are calling also Stable kite flying done next weekend... Whatever next? I hope to be there on Sunday whatever the weather. I don't call team or mega team! Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

play365 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Aha! Just spotted one. Chris Thanks for that Chris ....see it didn't rain all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andelscott Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Thanks for that Chris ....see it didn't rain all the time The nice thing about Dunstable is you can see what weather is coming at you about 5 minutes before it arrives - giving sufficient time to invade a friendly-looking tent or caravan! Of other note, Daniel Hoath (aged 8) made his 'proper' festival debut, flying team in a Flying Squad arena display on Sunday. The mega team was primarily Saturday, with the festival schedule over-running on Sunday and winds having picked up from mid-vent to full vent, most of the visiting fliers were packing away rather than getting another kite out.

Sorry Andy, I think you are something like 5 years late with that one. I saw him do a solo with his Rev II on my first trip to Rougham. If I remember right the weather was rough that w/e too. True star performer even then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exact track of the showers may have been a bit more difficult but when they spread across the horizon the consequences were clear. I do not like flying kites when the cloud forms are indicative of thundery conditions. When the cumulus clouds bubble up and get their tops 'blown off' it will likely be time to stop flying kites...

But yes, the track was definitely set early, with hopefully much more to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
