I was thinking of just flying the spars......I think most of us will be in the same boat.. so either may be a good idea. Cool

Current predictions; Question

http://www.xcweather.co.uk/GB/observations

Just put the curer in the direction of Crosby/Blackpool

I did try to get some material today with the view to knocking up a teabag custom rev. This was the article that started it;

http://www.revkites.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=828

Half way through they have a rev which is just made from mesh Wink

Unfortunately I can't source the material in time and I don't want to burn holes in my kite

I think we will be able to blag a go of one or two mega vents when we get down there Wink

I will refrain from commenting on the posts about todays practice which I missed! They did make me (grin). Also like the reference to the tints Cool Cool Cool.

Will comment on Saturday though.
Amazing. Great road trip.
The welcome, hospitality, help, guidance and support were perfect.
I went through the manual when I got home, there were only a couple of moves we hadn't attempted.
We must repeat the day.
Thanks yet again Vince for finding out about the gathering and paving the way for what we needed. Thanks for driving Chris and to all three for the company
Hope the week passes quickly so I can get some practice in.

Hi All,

Looking at the comments and pics on the Rev Forum, Ainsdale was a massif hit, and we where there!! Very Happy Cool

Looks like Vince is working hard on the guest list to our Rev Party already.
Very Happy Cool Very Happy Cool

What do you think about going through all of the Team Formations we learnt at the weekend at our next practice? Idea Question
I think at least 3 or 4 times each, whenever we fly would keep our eye in, and not waste the help we were given, what’s the feeling on that? Question Question

I think that is the way forward.
Maybe individual warm up and then into team practice.

I must crack "own thy hover"

I still cannot believe the number of team moves we practiced.

Not sure which day at the weekend yet but will e mail before the weekend.

Do we need to worry about the weather forecast anymore just take what we get. Although 10-15mph would be ideal.[/quote]

I'm fine for Sunday.
Early to dark for me - so far.
Feel Im a bit behind after missing Sunday so I need all the practice I can get.

Roll on the lighter nights so I can maybe grab a couple of hours mid week.

Not bothered checking the weather forecast cos as you say Vince
Revs fly in any weather!
