Well we are still preparing for the Crossing of the Irish Sea this year and it looks like the July window we set is going to pass without having the ideal conditions. We have another two week window coming up in August. Stay tuned to http://www.kitesurfirishsea.co.uk for more information.
We attended the Silloth kite and watersports festival this weekend (Saturday). Border TV turned up to do a piece on the crossing. It was on Saturday evening 6:15pm - I need to see how to get the footage on the web as the ITV website only shows the current programme. I have it on my Sky box but don't fancy tearing the hard drive out to get at it. If anyone has a DVD recorder that accepts a SCART for me to copy it off that would be cool.
The BKSA Championship Round 4 is at Walney Island again this year. The dates are the weekend 6th August - 8th August 2010. If the forecast is good a few of us will be heading down. The last few years have scored wind on at least some of the days so we'll be watching the forecast. Always a good opportunity to hook up with the lads down south and ride somewhere different.
