Zippy Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Wind is less than yesterday and we had a good day then till it built up at 5pm. Today it is dropping off at end of the day so should be good. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/sw/warminster_forecast_wind.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteBoyStu Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 WOW! 2nd thread! We must really do some gassing on here:D There's a little snow in Trowbridge as I left at 7.30. Got thicker the closer i got to chippenham. Its coming down in big fat flakes now! I like snow, but hate the driving conditions associated with it:mad: All it takes is one ice/snow-related accident and you become VERY nervous behind the wheel:cool: Drive safe everyone - and for those looking for snow kiting action - ENJOY:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr33Flight Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Coming down fast and thick in Beckington now, looks to be settling nicely too. Must be freezing at the horse!! The ground was frozen yesterday so can only imagine the conditions now it has snow on top of it probably need snow chains for your board... Enjoy!

That 12m Raven no good for you then Dan or is it sold already. As it happens i got a nice bargain the other day. 12m Octane+ bar and lines for £140 oh and the very kind man who sorted the bar out chucked in another kite. I could have kissed the bugger..

Dan Masochist Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I like the sound of the raven but....its fairly similiar to the torch and i fancy a change. What other kite got thrown in then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piler Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 OK m8. It was Harry who sorted the bar for me and chucked in the machine. A diamond geezer if ever there was 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Masochist Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Anyone want a broken 12m torch3? will cost roughly £100 to fix (£65 for LE bladder and £35 to get the LE repaired). Kite and bag £20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippy Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Deep Damned deep But I did say no one was gettin up without a tractor The tractor that passed us was a big ole John Deer and that was spinnin and sliding all over the road in 4x4 mode But if you can get up there it is a brilliant place to be. At one stage we could not see the trees round the barn cos the snow was comin down so thick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
