This is a nice shot with the deep blue sky in the background. Considering the wind was only around 10mph, this was a pretty high jump. Hopefully we’ll go out and get more photos when its really blowing.

James wasn’t expecting this photograph so I was quite glad that he got it! One moment I was running on the ground, next minute I cleared him by a good few feet. Being a dedicated photographer, he put his surprise to the side and concentrated on the job – getting photos. Cheers!

I recently went kiting on the castle and was lucky enough to be accompanied by a photographer for once. James, the creator of Mountain Bike Cumbria came along with his lovely SLR to get some shots. He was using a Canon EOS 350D, Digital SLR and a Canon EFS 10-22mm USM Lens to get these stunning results. Unfortunately, the wind had died down by the time we got there but I managed to work the kite to squeeze out the last drops of power.

Here are the shots:

Finally made it down to middleton sands after what seems like a very long time! Wind was perfect but the sand was little dry- tricky to get upwind quickly. However, I did manage 360′s in both directions as well as a few attempts at 720′s. Great day out. Shame about the sunburnt arms though :(

I’ve now got a kiting gallery up and running. Just click on the the picture above to see it. I’ll keep it up to date with the latest of my kiting exploits.
