Gareth, the master KAPer

There I was with my new KAP (Kite Aerial Photography) gear and NO IDEA what to do with it, until Gareth of the Kent Kite Flyers came to the rescue. A quick dash down the M20 after work today and 2.5 hours later I have a working KAP rig and DOZENS of tips on things related to KAP, kite flying etc. I even got given a ground anchor as a gift. Gareth, THANK YOU!
