Swindon Kite Festival

At the Science Museum, Wroughton -- a good venue, former airfield.

Saturday: cold, wet, not much wind. Spent much of the time huddled in a hangar between aircraft exhibits, drinking coffee and eating pancakes. Good company with a great turnout from the M4 Kites crowd.

Sunday: started cold, wet and windless, turned sunny but still windless, then finally started raining again. Managed to do some flying in the minimal breeze though. Highlights of the day were the massive rok battle (which I didn't take part in due to a broken rokakku -- now fixed) and watching Kite Kids doing synchronised cascades in their ballet routine -- wow!
