I took the kites and buggy to Laurie Stanford reserve in Singleton this morning. Forecast for North-easterlies, light to moderate, increasing to moderate to fresh with gusts.
A gorgeous sunny day, but chilly to start, set up the 5m flow and put it through it's paces, the wind was pretty hit and miss, with a lot more miss!
Anytime I stepped anywhere near the buggy the kite would float gently to the ground! Did manage a couple of slow runs.
The forecast was for increasing winds so I stuck it out and was rewarded by about an hour or so of reasonable buggy action, with some reasonable length runs and some decent speed - though never anything record breaking!
Though I didn't use my harness and hadn't switched the GPS on. Overall well worth getting out and having a blast!
