Walking and Flying a Kite |

Saturday 3rd July 2004. Me and Chie went for a walk today, and without really planning it ended up at Tom and Sarah's house. We then went out with them for a surprisingly enjoyable hour or so flying a kite. Lovely.
16:16:26 Some cows in a field. |
16:16:50 A little cow. |
16:25:03 Chie eating wild raspberries. |
16:41:54 Fields and sky. |
16:42:05 The little tower thing. |
16:42:48 Chie walking through the fields. Note the way her coat is zipped right up to the top to protect herself from the countryside! |
16:57:01 A little footbridge. |
16:59:17 The motorway bridge, which was bizarrely the objective of our walk. |
17:01:12 Yes, it's definitely a motorway bridge. |
17:05:55 A horse in a field. |
17:16:28 The Thatcher's Arms. Unfortunately it doesn't open until 6! |
17:59:41 After meeting up with Tom and Sarah at their house, we headed straight out to their nearby playing fields. Here's Tom assembling the kite. |
18:00:20 Just the wires need to go on now... |
18:03:43 A kite's eye view of Tom, the pilot. |
18:04:12 ...and again. |
18:05:17 Chie, being blown about a bit by the wind. |
18:05:38 Rather pleased with this "arty" shot. |
18:07:33 This is me preparing to launch the kite, with Tom in charge of the controls. |
18:07:49 Maybe untwisting it here... |
18:08:42 There it goes! |
18:13:40 Lovely blue sky with a kite in picture. |
18:14:03 It was pretty hard to get both Tom and the kite in one picture. |
18:14:16 Lovely. |
18:14:37 Aren't those clouds nice? |
18:15:03 Slight angle on this one. |
18:15:26 More of the same really, but still lovely. |
18:16:45 I think I'm about to take over the controls here... I think the camera's batteries ran out at this point though. |
