my locations
This is Barton cliff top where the winds come off the see about 100 feet above sea level, always constant but if the winds are going out to see we
dont fly here for fear of being dragged off of the cliff

This is the dreaded field high up a few miles from the sea front, surrounded by big trees and houses the wind is always dirty and gusty, a horrible
place to jump.

This really is as great as it looks. It is a polo practice field that we have gained permission to ride on. They keep the grass mowed short and it
is relatively smooth riding in the buggy. Wind direction doesn't matter at all. Just head out whatever direction works for you.

where I fly now: (blue area is really all that is flyable)
Where I have been given access but not made it out there yet. hope to make it there soon... This place is actually used as a corn maze in the fall and
all the green to the south of the maze is accessible, I'm pretty sure.
the snipping tool in windows 7 made that easy. :wee:

The hangars and planes are all gone now. Parking in the lot at top dead center. About 300 yards from my house.

Mood: stuck on a small island with big trees and tiny beaches...
|

man... those are some sweet spots...
here's my local, only good when the wind is mostly east, the big beach north of the river is 50m at high tide and 100 + at low. I keep my kites near
the white building. 5 mins bike from my flat. I usually have a few buddies hanging out by the bridge, there's a shop there with cheap beer, 30 cents
USD a can I believe, they love to watch but rarely fly, I don't teach folks past two beers. beautiful soft sand, perfect for static jumping, look out
for the trees!
I have other spots for water (shui hau wan mostly) and my hardpack is on the other side of HK (sai wan / dai long wan in sai kung)
for really good beaches like some of yours (grrrrrr) I will have to travel, the phils, thailand, and vietnam are all a couple hours or less by plane.
Lots of big beaches in China but they are dirty... 
fixed bridles, flying static, been two years now... ??? folks must be wondering....
sting 1.7, dp power 2.5, crossfire 3.2, ace 5, blade iv 6.5, ace 8, ace 12...
also a couple of arcs, 12 syn and 12 phanny, but i\'m not yet up to speed on them.
