Kites : Cody Man Lifter

There’s a few things that blokes never grow out of. One of them is “kites”, there’s not much more distracting than flying a huge kite in a big wind. (There are lots of other things obviously but this is a family safe rated blog most of the time.) After working in a stuffy study for most of the weekend, for couple of hours this afternoon this was a great reviver. We also flew my new awesome parafoil stunt kite, more photos over on flickr.

Igot the parafoil from a new shop in Hexham, Stanegate Flyers, run by Jo Ronan.
