This the second fly-in of 3 planned for the rest of 2013 at Hop Farm. They will be advertising that we are flying there, and that we shall have kites to loan out as well giving advice to the public who bring their kites along.
We are able to access from 10am onwards and will flying at the back of the Hop Farm. We have the choice of two sections of flying area which is either side of the archery. One is towards the main road where they used to have the displays for events and the other section is beyond the archery area. It would be preferable to fly in the second of the areas as it is further from the road, so as to not cause a problem with drivers being distracted.
Entrance is to go past the car park on your left staying on the road to the buildings. You will come to a single barrier arm, and press the call switch and state you a re with Kent Kite Flyers. Go Through the barrier, pass the building turn right at the white marquee and you will find two small lay bys, the first being access to the preferred flying area. We are allowed onto the ground so long as it is not saturated. Do not park on the roadway. I hope to be there around10.30. Please support this fly-in, as it could become a permanent fly-in venue. You will have access to facilities and cafe.
