Hershey Bob contemplates flying his own kite after seeing Ant
& Kath's para-bear "Wilbur" online.
Hershey Bob's got the helmet and goggles and we've got the
lifting kite... need to make a parachute and maybe a tiny buggy
too...

To make a practice parachute Choccy did the following: obtained
information from The Ted Berets
website weighed Hershey Bob estimated the parachute
diameter calculated the gore dimensions made a gore
template chose some colourful paper

just to see if the dimensions seem about right, can't wait to try
it with the correct materials.

Choccy tries out Hershey Bob's new minisled at Coventry kite
festival, (packed wasn't it)!
