If the ramps are to be left outside in all weathers they are either going to need a good coat of paint or you need to buy Marin ply which is twice as much to buy?
From my last trip Barley lands It was thought by those riding boards that it was in need of a good roller? I didn't go out myself, but the grass tuffs did look bad? |
John know what you mean, but with the current income they are getting from the field, I can't see them doing to much for us, they will keep it in order as it's still used as a car park a couple of times a year, but don't think a lot else..
The use and payments for the last year has dropped right off..... 1/2 expecting them to call it a day at some point TBH... though some income is still that some...

It's a Chicken and Egg situation. would be a shame for you guys to loss the flying site, do we need to start promoting the site more to bring in fresh blood ?? |
Yes........
But as you know the kite flying scean as a whole I think has declined......
The Summer months is when we need to see if we can get more over.
Don't Get me wrong, the ramps are a good idea, but don't see the point in spending lots on them, just in case.....
If they can be done with little cost then fine, lets go for it.....
