Teston August
and pay respects to "Absent Friends"
Gits Attending = Keith, Alan, Peter, Glenn, Sandra & Andrew, Christian & Gayle + Kent Kite Fliers on Sunday
The field looks green & lovely - no darn floods in sight!
"First fire up the Cadac, get Breakfast on the go!"
Minkey's on a diet - just watch the world go by...
What a Day of Miracles - there's wind enough to fly!
Christian and Alan posing beside that Special Kite-Eating Oak Tree
Precious memories linger here - "Forever Colouring The Sky"
We wish "Bon Voyage" and "Safe Returns" to Keith, Glenn, Gayle & Christian who went on
from Teston to catch "Le Shuttle" en route for Fanø - a darned long drive!

The Ron Dell Kite Festival
Early Friday morning in Epsom - It's going to be an awesome weekend. Have a great one everyone!
The Hard Core Gits came early - when Dicky finally arrived, they had already set up Git Camp
The Scott Tribe camped next to Peter & Jacqui's VW tent - Serious rivals in the Snoring Championship!
Git Gazebo wired for sound and light - Friday night we all tucked into Fish 'n Chips..
and enjoyed a most convivial evening
(JB actually turned up even later than Dicky, but he is part of the Git Furniture)
Saturday morning very early - just a bit of mist to start with, and then...
John B was also up early - nearly got lost in the fog!
Hang on! There's somebody else out there - can you see him? what's he up to?
Somebody Plutzing about - I wonder who...? Of course - it's Keith!
This was a Mega Plutz 3 - wonderful to see it gliding around in absolute zero wind!
Dicky tried to get an arty shot of Dolly the Dolphin with PKF banner and sunrise...
The mist & fog cleared by about 8.30am, and we enjoyed a weekend that was sometimes TOO hot!
Profound thanks to Anne and Sandra for providing endless tea & coffee to help keep us going
We were delighted that Tina was able to come with her friends Stephen & Barbara
Thank you Jane for this lovely panoramic shot - You can see how hot it was!
The Saturday Night Buffet was a great success - again all thanks to Sandra & Anne
Come on Keith - you can get that heart a bit closer to Jacqui's shark!
Keith wanted to assemble his new UFO kite - with plenty of advice from the Git Ground Crew, of course!
This was his latest toy forced onto him by Karl Longbottom at Berrington Hall.
He had a lot of fun with his new toys after dark... while the Gits shone torches and lasers at him
The Catherine wheel was meant to hang from a kite 50 feet up - but no wind = Plan B
Sunday - Another glorious day, spent mostly lazing about and drinking copious amounts of water - yes WATER!
John B captured this atmospheric early shot of the River Medway looking serene....
John B then managed to get this unruly mob to sit still for a few seconds - good work John!
A wonderful weekend - and look how many Ron Dell Hex kites there are!
