Fly-in on Saturday 4th March - Walmer. Weather permitting we will be flying on the beach to the rear of 'The Borrowpit' car park Kingsdown Rd, Walmer. what3words tilts.coolest.breakfast will get you close. Mike  This coming weekend doesn't look to great weather wise on Sunday, Northerly winds and light rain forecast all day.
Saturday looks much better, Northerly winds 8 - 13 mph with temperatures feeling like 2 degrees so will be chilly. Northerly no good for Palm Bay I am reliably informed so looking towards Walmer as probable flying site. I know it's not our usual flying day but does anyone fancy coming out on Saturday for a change?Mike |

Can't join you this week but I'm flying internationally. Last Wednesday, lighthouse leprechaun flew her lighthouse mini sled (I think that's what it's called, after reading a recent report from Walmer) at a lighthouse. I thought that rather appropriate. The wind was a bit gusty and unpredictable so I didn't venture anything larger - there was a large expanse of sea a few yards away and I didn't want my butterfly in the briny !

Despite a recent very light shower the sun is now trying to break through dark clouds. For anybody venturing out today - Walmer will welcome you with light winds and cold temperatures.
The seaweed is damp and there is no movement in the bamboo.

A great improvement in the weather, sun shining brightly and bamboo blowing well from a north easterly direction.
