RaceKites at Ponte

Morning session at Ponte where loads of people turned up from Birmingham way, at a guess about 15 people in total. Winds promised 15mph from North so it was set to be ideal.

Sadly, the winds had all but disappeared and we struggled for 5mph.

To make things worse, there was also a 'Santa Dash' so the car park was full and there were loads of Santa's jogging about *and* the footy players decided to use the most awkward pitch for us that was right in the middle of our typical run.

I had to leave at 1pm so I hope it picked up after that.
