Kempsey Kite Club - Near Worcester - New Members Wanted!

Today was the official first day of Kempsey Kite Club, which is based on Teal Turf Farm near Worcester. I wasn't kiting due to a back strain but I will be soon, and I wanted to go along and show my support and become a signed up member.

At £14 per month it's a real bargain for unlimited use of such a fantastic site and they really want new members to help make the project viable long into the future. With such a great second hand kite market on places such as ebay this extreme sport can be a bit of a bargain compared to others such as snowboarding or paragliding, you could prob get started for £200 if you chose carefully and others are always willing to let you try out their kites too. Although latest new kit and a 'quiver' of kites for different winds sure can add up!

I'm pretty sure if you wanted to come along for a taster you could post on their facebook page and you would be welcome http://www.facebook.com/groups/294964893946838/

Here's a couple of snaps I took of people whizzing up and down

and if you get really good it can lead onto crazy stuff like this, video shot at the club by Ben Davies
