Back to news
Back to home
During our recent walking trip to the Lakes, both myself and Danny C decided that because the previuos days climb was so knackering we would treat outselves! So we
stopped in to see the guys at '
THE SICK AND THE WRONG' in Keswick. Giles and Chris
sorted me out with a 2.4 meter "power-kite" And Danny C, with a sweet little Mountain
Board! Nice!
Well today the weather conditions were real sweet, with a 25MPH+ on-shore Westerly
blowing, just right for scaring yourself half-to-death!!
So with the Surf just to big, and frankly too risky to enjoy, we headed up to the nearest
steep hill, and got us some kite-board action!
This proved to be harder than you would think, but here's some photos of Danny C
realising it's harder than it seems, and me (Neilly B) getting blown down a field, dodging the dog turd as i go!
