Hiya James There might be 'radical' flying at Old Warden (and I am sure someone will reply to you on this), there more probably will be some at Weymouth on 29 and 30 April - but a definite place for 'radical' flying most likely would be at Blackheath on 16 and 17 April. Best bit of radical flying we have seen recently is on the video that comes supplied with the Stranger (Flexifoils new trick kite). That is radical.

You'd meet alot of very interesting folk at Old Warden, but it has a distinctly more laid back character than Blackheath, and also ( AFAIK ) there are no stunt competitions to attract the particular type of expert you're looking for. -- Mark de Roussier ************************************ A nice man is a man of nasty ideas.
