2010-10-31 – Power Kiting

Today 11 Scouts and 4 Explorers accompanied by 4 leaders from the 5th Dartford Scout Group participated in a Power Kiting session run by the Kent Scouts Air Activities Team.  The weather was not ideal for this activity, with rain forecast and low wind speeds, but it was agreed that we’d try our luck and have a go regardless as we’d been looking forward to the activity and were eager 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.  As it turned out the heavy rain stayed away and for the most part, the wind was adequate.  Alas, there was not enough sustained wind for the buggies on this occasion, but 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.
