br1Ck Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Hey all - not sure how active UK people are here. I picked up kiting last summer. I'm using a dual line Prism Nexus at the moment but looking to upgrade to a Benson Deep Space. I'm in London and usually fly at a couple of the local commons. Would appreciate any tips on locations (SW) If anyone is looking to sell a second hand Benson in the UK please DM me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWharton Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Hi br1Ck, Dunstable downs would be a good location for you, I think there's people pretty regular up there at the weekends, and I'm sure they would be more than happy for to try some different kites.

kevmort Posted September 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 That’s also a good idea another option could be to search for a club near you and ask them most clubs can be found on the internet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep coming back to a northern kite group, but can't access their website , seems to be a common issue. I'll try a different browser when I get near a PC see if that helps. I haven't seen anyone round my area fly a kite for years. Seen a few up on the east coast but seem to be the bigger power kite type stuff. I thought there would have been a bit of a revival as it gets folk out and about and most outdoor hobbies seem to have a resurgence in popularity. I'll. to see what I can find, thank you for your replies much appreciated.🪁👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevmort Posted September 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Your welcome to the advice I can give and while your wife is on Facebook looking for the quad line kite group she can look up the northern kite group they are on there too and a very happy helpful bunch they are too in fact there is a kite festival on this weekend at Bridlington I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevmort Posted September 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Oh I’ve asked on your behalf in the “ northern kites group “ if there is anybody with a spare spar for an EXP I hope you don’t mind , if I get a response I’ll figure out a way to put you both in contact 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevmort Posted September 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 I’ve had a response and they’ve suggested Decathlon for rods I’ve had a look and found this https://www.kiteworld.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000004.pl?WD=carbon rods&PN=Rev-EXP-Spare-Rods.html#SID=79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the publicity for the Bridlington festival, unfortunately I was busy. Hoping to get along to the Filey Kite festival this weekend, their first one I think.
