Sunday 6th December

It has been a long time since we've flown. We've come out of lockdown into tier 3, which, I believe, means we can meet again in small groups (rule of 6). Note this doesn't seem to have bothered the park runners over the last month in Maidstone!

Simon has suggested flying at Lydd on Sunday. I have a couple of things I want to test, so this seems an ideal location. Anyone else want to join us? I will aim to get there around midday.

A good afternoon flying with Mike and Barbara a chilly but steady onshore breeze. Had an interesting chat with the British Kitesurf Champion. Flew a couple of things that haven't been out of the bag for years

Turned into a very nice, albit rather, cold flying afternoon. We managed to fly our new aquisitions from Tasmania that looked great in the sky when the sun put in an appearance.
It's strange what one sees whilst out flying kites. Barbara, on her way back from the loo, decided to walk back along the sea line (well top of the shingle bank next to the sea). At the end of the boardwalk towards Greatstone was a group of people sitting on the beach with a parabolic microphone and movie camera. In the sea up to his waist was a man with a guitar strumming along to a music track. What some people do in the name of art! No idea who it was or what they were doing but if that scene turns up in a music video you heard about it here first. Another KKF news scoop!
