Apart from the obvious things I should have (range of kites, helmet, finding places to do it) I wonder what type of buggy accessories are in use out there in the wide world. Some suggestions that were mentioned to me or what I have seen were: - bicycle speedometer - front fender for those wet days - wrenches or socket set for tightening up things - tire (or tyre for you UK people) pump - stake holder - shoulder carrying strap when going to & from your vehicle - back supporter - cushions(!) One could categorize these into a) things that would be on the buggy itself, and b) things that should be available at home base. Any suggestions?

Assemble Buggy at car, place gear in seat, strap down, pull along with handy pull cord you make after reading this. >- back supporter I can't live with out mine, but beware solid, stiff pieces of lexan. >- cushions(!)

The front fender will *not* keep you dry. It _will_ help cut down on the stream of sand and water that always manages to aim right into your eyes and mouth. Jeff -- |Jeffrey C.

The CAMELBAK water delvery system. A water containing bladder that straps to your back (like a backpack) You drink from a rather stiff hose near your mouth with a 'bite valve' No hands needed (it is marketed for bicyclists) A set of lights for night buggying! -- Richard Amirault N1JDU Boston, Massachusetts USA amirault@tiac.net "Go Fly A Kite" = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
