The forecast for this Sunday looked much better, however when we arrived first thing\u00a0it was overcast and there little wind. We were soon joined by Gareth, Peter, and Simon from the Kent Kite Flyers and even with the little wind we started to get some kites in the sky. We were all surprised how well Peter&#8217;s Manta Ray flew in such light winds. By midday the sun had started to come out and the wind had increased so we were able to get more kites in the sky.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eastangliankiteflyers.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/mcmf1927.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-371\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eastangliankiteflyers.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/mcmf1927-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eastangliankiteflyers.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/mcmf1927-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eastangliankiteflyers.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/mcmf1927-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.eastangliankiteflyers.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/mcmf1927-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.eastangliankiteflyers.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/mcmf1927.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We joined by Martin&#8217;s two daughters Anna and Amy with their respective families and\u00a0It was lovely to see Anna&#8217;s daughter Olivia enjoying flying her own kite.
