The ice cream van swings it. Gorge it is and gorge it will be.

Just don't gorge yourself on icecream.

is there enough room to park the Borg Cube there?

I was going to do the one about resistance is futile but unlike some people,I thought better of it.

Either you have a warped sense of humour or you just typed that on impulse.

I believe a collective of the two may be to blame.

Anyway, back on the BFD topic, look forward to seeing all you voyagers in Bristol on Sunday. You never know, we might entice the next generation of kite flyers away from the pk'ers. Thanks to Paul and Al for showing great enterprise in setting this up and, if the turn out's as good as expected, should be a good chance to get another cheeky go on a deep space. Nine o'clock as I was originally thinking is probably a bit early, so I'll head up there for 10 to meet Al.

Jon

Thanks to wikipedia for making this possible. Oh, and the pub, definately the pub.

Sorry guys can't make this one as I'll be working

hope its a great day though! Weather seems reasonable which is strangely atypical for a BFD :shock:

Thanks everyone for coming along - even if the wind didn't join us. At least we had some not-forcasted autumnal sunshine.

Highlight of the day: tricking the stacked Phantom ULs... Axels and fades and Jon managed a good-looking flatspin. The future of trick flying?

Indeed, good day. nice to get some 'fun' team flying done. The stuff with the pair of stacked phantoms was amazing, double axel :shock:

Thanks everyone for another great turnout. A few new faces as well.

Wind was non existent but it was better than the usual blustery gales. Location is stunning and has become the latest STACK/FA BFD venue for Wales!

Now to continue my on line search for a Rev UFO spinning wheel and wand thing. The perfect way to knock your teeth out on a no wind day. Any used ones out there going cheap?

Many thanks Paul and Al for arranging it. I had a great time. Really nice to meet everyone - sorry I had to rush off early without saying goodbye to each of you.

Thanks for sharing that,it was worth seeing.
Could have done with a dubbed soundtrack,specifically a recording of "Me and My Shadow".
