Bear Bunging in Tankerton

Well today saw a long hard day's teddy parachuting on tankerton Slopes in aid of the Whitstable and Herne Bay Lions. During the early part of the day it was a constant battle to keep the kite aloft and therefore create enough lift to get even the smallest bear off the ground. The result was we used a total of 4 different kites during the day trying to find the one best suited to the conditions. However in the afternoon the wind moved around a little bit and picked up and we were droping bears consistently down the slopes. In total we must have done something in the order of 200 jumps to keep the children (and adults) amused.
