Went out in the bug yesterday in the 2 hours it stopped raining! very little wind when i got there so i set the 3.5 up cos it't the biggest kite i own. Sat there for a bit waiting for the wind to pick up getting funny looks from the passers by. The wind was coming in 15 min intervals, I'd get going and be blatting around for a bit then it would die so i'd stop wherever I was and have a smoke. About 1:30 ish the wind got up again and i started tearing up and down the beach again but this time the wind didn't stop, it just kept building. I drove up to the softer sand to help slow the bug down and proceeded to put the kite up to zenith (my 3.5 rage.... not a lifty kite at all) and was thinking "ok take it to the edge, put it on the floor and then release to killers "cos it was really really blowing by this point but I didn't get chance. A gust came through and plucked me up out of the now stationary buggy and dropped me about 6 ft away from it! After killing the kite and packing it away I checked the wind speed, 34.4mph Must admit i thought about putting something smaller up and carrying on but i saw sense and went home. Had a good day, hoping for slightly saner winds on Sunday See y'all there |

I finally got a go in the buggy yesterday, it was worth the wait! Was really nervous after hearing Chris' story above but the wind wasn't as high yesterday but strong enough for me to see what all the fuss is about. Great fun!
