Bongo Fury

I had a great fly on thursday and have now just ordered a new 6m peter lynn pepper 2. Just waiting for the Bl**dy weather again and the new kite

my 6m hornet has stayed in the bag since arrival 2 weeks ago Overpowered last sunday even with a 2m. Wind forecast 10mph sun am- hoping for dry weather and I may get to give it a go- but only a small window of opportunity as I have a customer calling in the afternoon.

Been out again today with the 3.6 could have done with the 6m pepper but that won't be here till tuesday, and guess what the rain is here all week again

Off up Clegg this holiday weekend and should be able to get a few hours in. May catch ya if your there

where is Clegg? and are the winds, weather favourable?

Cleethorpes? You staying at the Haven place in Clee near the beach Foz?


TDB the wind for hunstanton is looking okay at the mo for Sunday, were heading up there to kitesurf. But hey ho it all may change!

yep...that's the one. Golden Skans, sands or what ever it's called .
Stuck there all weekend with the neices, so plenty of flying to be had I think. Only problem.... off shore wind

Hmm not so good the old offshore. SSW this weekend so good for Hunstanton woop

Also the wind forecasts move so much at the mo I recon you will get some decent winds. If not you can always go play bingo

oh yeah i had the 6m pepper2 up yesterday very quick on the buggy

Anyone going to bristol kite festival next weekend? I'm going and taking the bongo.

Been thinking of calling in - probably not camping, are you going for whole w/end or just one day?

Guys, the Silverdale meet is right next to Bolton Le Sands, Anyone thinking of havin a go before winter sets in? I will be going and i think Dreamwarrior will be too. Would be nice to have a gang of us going down there and maybe also show other bongonuts what it is all about. I have a Tandem setup and so does DW. The more the merrier. C'mon you know you want to. If anyone says it is too far, i am coming from London.

races down the hill on saturday at silverdale. competition of how many children you can fit on a tandem buggy, think i got ten on my setup at crooklands. then planning trip out to bls after the meeting on the sunday as simon said tides favour better on the sunday. wont be my last kiting trip before winter i hope tho. just got another kite today to play with ozone cult 4.5.

I was thinking of spending all my days down on BLS and returning to the site when i have no energy left. If i spend Sunday on the beach then i will have to get another days hols and a campsite for sunday night too. No way i am buggying all day then driving back to the smoke.

I have fancied a go a BLS since Mike mentioned it a few months ago - Not sure how far from south wales, but must be similar to London.
Hope you tandem riders dont mind me asking, but what attachment do you use, and if bought, roughly how much. I have 2 flexi buggies that I would like to join when its too windy for my lad to hold on to his kite.

tony last time at bls i flew pretty constantly for 10 hours, with a harness you dont get tired, ok maybe legs ache a little.
ed regards joining buggies i have a homemade bracket. simply a c shaped bracket which bolts onto the 1st buggy axle.this has an upright plate welded onto it with a hole drilled to take the 2nd buggys wheel bar. thats a steel rod that passes throught the front wheel with a bolt welded to it.
it sounds complicated but its simple. you can buy a bracket of ebay for 50 quid
