Rageizm Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Looking for New areas to landboard can you help? Do you need to be a member or have insurance to kite at hylands park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimpo Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Rageizm No and No, but that said: It is advisable to have insurance for when flying, for the cost it is worth it. Member-ship is free so no cost, just helps if you have problems to be part of the club, "new" members always welcome, it's a local club for locals. Check out the site www.powerkiters.co.uk We always post up where we are going to be flying, Hylands is OK for the land boards, but not all that smooth, Fairlop, is better and probably not a lot further for you, time wise. Come along and meet the crowd. Shrimpo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiny_clanger Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 K, cool Staff and students have access to the playing fields up at the uni. It's not a great site, but it's bookable and guaranteed free of anyone else! If you're not connected to the uni though, it's not available for public use!

PHLI72 Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Anyone still about? Rather an old thread, but a few of us still around and about. Best place these days is the Essex Kite Park in Barling (near southend) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
