Thanks for that. I will give that a go next time I am up there. As for the waves. Treat them like moguls

welcome kitebongo.we quite often go to bolton le sands to fly kites and buggy around,you will have to watch this space and see when we next have a meeting of bongos or watch fancy meeting up site as well,i think next bongo meet is in march at snowdonia.but there is a few bongo,kiters on here,we will have to get a meeting set up so can have a bongo,kite do.as you can see with dreamwarrioruk avitar,he and the daughter do buggying while i soak up the peace and quiet and fresh air,certainly been fresh air sometimes.

Considering it!
Thinking about a weeklong trip down to Lands-end etc and then back up to the Ho!
I've never been further down than Bristol so want to make trip of it.

Can't find any info on campsites though? The booking system is in place for static caravans etc. Maybe nearer the time?

The only one I have stopped at down the Ho is Braddocks, 5 min drive to the beach. Do a search on flexi and it may throw something up about other campsites in the area.

Not attending Atmos this year folks have fun. Snow_Kiter the field they use at Braddicks for camping etc is where the wind village was held last year so no bookings for camping etc were taken. Check out the Atmosphere09 website someone there will be able to help.

Kitebongo welcome, don't get up your way much to kitesurf. If your down Hunstanton way be sure to pm me.

I can't as i have prior commitments but as good as it sounds to see so many like minded and crazy kiters, i think it would be difficult to have any fun as there would be so many peeps there it surely would get dangerous.
