KAP session with my good friend John Shergert on 30th September 2006.
Wind 11-16 knots S-SW
Kite: Sutton Flow Form 16
Rig: Brooxes BEAK
Camera: Canon S70
Nervous first few minutes "in flight"
Looking south west - Crystal Palace aerial visible in the distance
Nice view of Blackheath village. About 350 ft of line released
Small kite flying underneath plus "RC speedboats" lake
Shooters Hill, Kent in the distance
Traffic building up down below
Nearly 500ft of line released and the wind dying a little
The Dome in the distance
Thames and the City of London beyond - looking West-North West
The 2 dots are John and I
Our cars are still there
Looking east towards Kent
Greenwich Park and the docklands beyond
View of Central London
Blackheath village and Surrey beyond
Dome (on the right), river Thames and Canary Wharf
Impressive angle - 500ft of line released - CAA permission pending!
Dockland and the City
"Right John, explain to me the 'off-side' rule again!"
Steep angle
On its way back to land
Clouds gathering, weather closing in
Almost there!
Just missing John's bag on landing
John getting to grips with a Flexifoil Sting 2.4
John is confident and cocky - note the unused safety leash!
John performing stunts
John flying the Flexifoil like a pro
John being annoyingly confident after 10 mins of flying
