Right, after reading the threat of a site close (yes this very web site not my local flying area!). It seemed that the general excuse was either too much work or dodgy weather.

I don't it's so much an excuse, more a reason. Bill and Jo do this in their own time, so if it's not getting used you can understand why they'd consider closing it (hope they don't though - be a shame to lose it.)

Nice vid, sounds well windy...lol
Good to see you got going in the end, one point though, and it's bound to make me sound nit-picky, but not meant to be. Just a warning to others, even if you knew the danger.

PYLONS!

What struckl me on the vid was the line of pylons in the background. I know you were downwind of them, but kite lines can act as conductors (like a big antenna), and there's been cases of electricity jumping the gap and people getting fried. As well as if you lose grip of the kite and it ends up blowing to some other pylons in the vacinity and shorting power lines out....mega bill!

Sorry to sound like an old fart, but seen it mentioned lots before, and needs pointing out for any newbies reading.

As for vids, here's one of our Jeremy Beadle contenders. trying to catch my mate doing a close pass, when he went a bit off course...lol
