Not any old fly-in but a fly to support the last day of the National Trust's Easter holiday celebrations. We will, weather permitting, be flying kites by the lighthouse from 11.00 ish til 17.00.
There are two flying areas available to us. We cannot use any form of ground anchor in the area within the boundary of the lighthouse. Therefore, I suggest we have kites flown from hand in this area. The field to the side of the lighthouse is available for us to fly kites that need to be anchored. In the Events threads Gareth has a map that shows the area around the lighthouse and also the access route to the parking area. I've attached another map that shows the entrance to the site.
For what3words users the entrance is at ///laying.head.brownish. For those using latitude and longditude, it is 51.137893, 1.348539. The address for the lighthouse is St. Margarets Bay, Dover, Kent CT15 5NA
No vehicular access for the general public, access for KKF members only is via a new access road off Upper Road controlled by a gate which will be manned from 11.00.
