Warm it maybe with a fire, but surely that negatively impacts the ice`? I do apologise if I come out of this looking moronic...but, I am tired :D I am assuming that is just a light, but it looks remarkably like a fire!

To be honest if you want to get out as often as you would like then you will need a larger kite than 10m. I have 7,9,11,15 and 17m best waroo's and the two I get most use from are the 15m and 11m. With our weight we just need more wind or more kite area to get us going at any decent rate. Certainly go with a bow and avoid a "C" whilst you are beginning. Also, the largest board you can find, I have the Nobile 666EXT and though it can be like a kitchen table top at times it does get me out on the water more often than not.

The sail was totally trashed but I managed to salvage the boom and mast foot, both are a bit tatty due to their encounter with the rocks etc. If anyone knows who may have lost the rig in the Camel estuary area (possible Daymer Bay) please pass this message on, as I would quite like to reunite the remaining kit with its owner. I live in St Columb Major about half an hour from Daymer Bay.

Should have squeezed a quick session in around lunchtime, but after working all morning and with a 3km swim looming in the afternoon I just didn't quite get around to it. Think I must be getting old and slowing down! Don't think I'll bother with tonights MTB night ride either - Mainly because I've forgotten to charge my lights but also because its the first day for a while that me knee and back haben't hurt so it'll probably be a good idea not to aggravate them this evening but having a nice evening in rather than blatting around the forest in the dark!
