Hi,
I live in Walton on Thames, in central london. I would like to spend some weekends learning to kite-surf. I wish to drive

up to 50 miles from my place, is there any such place?

Hiya Tom,

Your best option would be to head down to the south coast. Any where from Brighton along to Littlehampton is a shade over the 50 mile mark, but will be your best option.

Given the forecast south westerly/southerlies this sunday then you should find plenty of people out on the water down there and probably a few from your neck of the woods as well.
