places to go

Hello I'm Kev
I can tell you that Blackheath is a great place to fly!...I go there whenever the wind is up and the current-bun is out...Had a good flying session last week,before the rain started to set in.There were a couple of people over there with kiteboards...I dont have a board yet,but Im gonna get one as I bought a bigger kite today, a`Tribord 3.2m`from X-Trem...I got it for a knockdown price of £64.99!!!....a nice result!...Ive got a symphony 2.2 at the moment too.

....one other thing to advise is that Blackheath can get a little busy at times and last year the groundsman was telling people to get off their boards(and the buggies)as there had(alledgedly)been complaints from other users,ie picnicers,dog walkers etc etc with regard to some kite pilots being a little indirectly`Intimidating`!!...some people have nothing better to complain about...and I could not see anyone being a nuisance,only the complainents!!...however,last week there were people with boards and nobody bothered them...a great place to kite though!

there is a group of us, about 5 meet on the heath most weekends and do kiting around parliment hill on hampstead heath. Most of us just beginers but come along if its not too far.
