ABC Wednesday - Kites

I was going to do kayak for this week which just proves how the memory plays tricks because when I looked at the photos they were canoes, and no, despite my browse of the dictionary I could find no archaic spelling with a K. Then I remembered I had some kites from the first Kitefest held earlier in the year at Haverigg.

There were all sorts of shapes and sizes

and the Fusion Team dancing kites to music.  Here they are practising before taking the field.  Not easy on this weekend because despite the fact there are a number of Kite Surfing events held locally because of the reliability of the wind the early part of the year was notable for warm and and windless weather. If you were a

butterfly it would be OK, but the huge Dragon Kites had difficulty getting off the ground.  No matter

there was a kite retail opportunity in the far tent and pancakes here or my favoured option

a kool ice cream.  The event took place on the Haverigg Rugby Ground a good space for a kids kick around.
