2011-06-05 – Power Kiting

Scouts and Leaders from the 5th Dartford Scout Group participated in a Power Kiting session run by the Kent Scouts Air Activities Team. The weather started off perfectly, with a good cloud cover and moderate winds and for the majority who had not tried this Adventurous activity before, the conditions were ideal and we were all keen to get stuck in.

The team of knowledgeable instructors were excellent and within a very short time had our novice flyers at a competent and confident level and after lunch the more experienced flyers took the oppertunity to try out the buggy’s too.  Alas the weather turned to rain and the wind speed dropped and it became impossible to keep the kites up so the decision was taken to finish an hour early, but everyone had a great session and then there’s always another time, which I suspect will be as well attended as today’s session.

Below are a few pictures, which show clearly how much fun was had by all on this excellent activity.
