may as well reply to my own thread,
what ill do is try and give everyone a bit of a report on the condition of the lake wallunyup (saftey bay) once a week or so, just in case anyone fancies a blast down there.
my week of kiting,
1, NONE...... REASON..... lakes pretty full of water, lots of soft spots, still fairly firm up the top by the green container . Worth a trip if you dont mind getting dirty. Had a couple of days this week when the wind was firm and constant, would have been nice for a buggy.

havent been doing much with the buggying.... hopefully that will change soon.. have been keeping an eye on your lake each time i go past, is it losing any water??? need to find a spot close to bunbury where we can get out and have a decent thrash.... for us, our best times have been while visiting my folks out at wyalkatchem, big open paddocks and gutloads of wind... shall catch up at somestage and have a fly..
goodwinds to ya...

had a bit of rain this week so the lakes got topped up. Theres still plenty of room up the top, just go easy after it rains, as it becomes very slippery, one minute grip, next minute ala icerink.

as promised, a small report on the lakes, went for bugggy about a week ago, nice westerly breeze, took the 5,6 and the 7,. gates are still locked so have to park down by the road, and carry all the gear through the small gates, first impressions were that i thought it a bit soft underfoot with a few puddles about, looked pretty dry apart from that. i alway set up down the bottom because im too lazy to walk with all my gear up to the top. tried out the 5 for a couple,...nah, definately the 7.
i managed to buggy up to the container with no problems, just trying to keep the kite high above the bushes and out of the lakes to the left , once through the narrow section of road (about .7klm). when the road widens out you can bring the kite down and get onto the hard stuff, bit wet right up at the top and soft, and still obviously lots of water in the lakes, but overall, plenty of room to play if you dont mind getting a little dirty.. great fun! :)

ok, so went out wednesday this week, very windy- 25-30 knots gusts to 40 blowing NNW. awesome, awesome, awesome, was how that session went, flew the 2.8 bora and adjusted the bridles so as not to overfly the window in the gusts, thats what i like about these kites, you can adjust them to suit the conditions your in, they work sooo well when theres loads of air passing through.
the lakes are like this...set up at the bottom as usual, pretty dry down there now and plenty of room for playing and deciding what best tool to use for the job in hand, just look out for big rocks when you come off the beaten track.
managed to tack all the way up the road to the green container, lots of effort but still better than walking. you can now buggy all the way to the top of the lakes as there is not a great deal of surface water on the hard stuff any more, a few soft patches but that always adds to the fun. you can also buggy from the green container all the way across to the deli on mandura rd now as that wasnt passable a couple of weeks ago, unfortunately doing a circiut around the lakes isnt yet possible unless you want to get really really wet, believe me, i looked at it, thought about it, tried it, too soft and slippy and rocks poking through the surface of the water, plus it never smells too good anyway.
above all things are starting to look good, this is a great time of year to be going out and getting dirty, ill be looking forward to seeing people down there, dont be shy and pm me if you want to get out there with someone....:).

I've mostly been heading to Langley Park this year as my local Forrestdale Lake has had water in it for a change.

Keen to have a go down there to Safety bay but would be rapped if someone who knows the ropes could lead the way.

Do you still get out there much??
