The 11th Streatham Common Kite Day will be on Sunday 13th April - everyone's welcome.

Make you own kite and bring it along on the day.

Woo! Can't wait!!!

[Lord Camomile]

Me and some mates will be coming up from Canterbury

Will give making our own kite a go, but might wimp out and buy a couple of back ups just to be on the safe side

 

[Rollem]

Looks I went to one in March (the place not the month) a couple of times a few years back, stupid Fenland district Council stopped running it for some reason so i don't think it's on any more

 

[Belushi]

It's at the end of my street so I may watch it from the comfort of the Waterfront.

Ace- I'll be there with some friends.
Just a minute's walk from my house so perfect. Last year was really fun, loads of happy kids everywhere.
My brother brought me back one of those 20-little-kites-stuck-together from China so I'm going to play with that.

Don't all the kites just end up all tangled up with each other in one giant knot?

 

[han]

Oooh this sounds good. Hmmm. mmm. mm.

 

[RoyReed]

Don't all the kites just end up all tangled up with each other in one giant knot?

Usually just lots of smaller ones

The forecast for tomorrow is good for the morning, but an increasing risk of showers in the afternoon. Wind about 9mph WSW - that's about as good as it gets for SC.

For anyone driving, it's usually easy to park on Streatham Common South if you get there early or on the side streets off of it if you're a bit later. If you do park on the side of the common DON'T put your wheels on the grass or you'll get clamped or towed.

We're looking forward to seeing you all there.

 

[RubyToogood]

Too much rain, not enough wind sadly Fingers crossed for next year.

 

[g force]

bout a minute later it absolutely pissed it down!

 

[RoyReed]

Thanks to those who came. Sorry about the weather, we'll try to do better next year.

And for anyone who's interested it looks like there will be a resurrected Blackheath Kite Festival on 14/15 June after a gap of (I think) seven years.

In the brief sunny period between the downpours it was a great event.

Skillful kite flying and fresh hog roast off the spit - what more can you ask for.

Here's some photos to show it didn't rain all the time.

I managed to bash myself in the face with a kite
we all had a great time, the rain wasnt so bad but it did make my hair go crazy
