Other Comments:

The Park Warden used to think I was taking in a tent to camp and didn't really believe that the colourful bags contained several 10ft flexifoils. He now comes to watch and really enjoys them though. The site is particularly good if the wind is coming from in between N and SW. The grass is a little bumpy though so watch out if you are scudding with flexifoils or the equivalent. If the wind is in the right direction you can use some of the surrounding benches to launch off when jumping.
