It wasn't till I introduced myself while waiting for the Air Gallery launch that I realised that I had seen you at least a couple of times before (Washington and Portsmouth last year). > >That was yesterday.

On the way out of town, we passed the York >horse-racing field, which is open for public access, and it was clearly >a place to see how well I had managed to re-tune Matthew's 10m. This >proved to be a bit of an eye opener... WHAT!!??! You buggied on the Knavesmire (my home buggy field) and didn't let me know to come and join you?? Shame on you Sir! The only problem with the racecourse is the surrounding trees, makes for some 'lumpy' wind sometimes. Otherwise, it's one of the best spots around. I have happily buggied up and down that massive expanse just of the centre of York at something well over 30mph. Ahhhh, happy days. Enjoyed playing with your/Matthew's 7m Chev on Sat evening at Washington. You certainly have got that one right. 'Twas a delight to fly. If only I had close on 400 notes to part with.... *sigh* Paul ---------------------------------- | PAUL CHANDLER - York Kite Flyers | | Paul@FreeWind.demon.co.uk | ----------------------------------
