Caboose

I brought a Flexifoil Sting 1.2 kite back to Nigeria with me in November (that’s a fairly small power kite, 1.2 square metres). I’ve not had much of a chance to fly it due to lack of wind or other things to do.

Today I finally had the time and the wind was strong enough, so I wandered over to the NTI Staff Primary school football pitch and unpacked the kite.

That’s me flying the kite on the left, in the middle is Suleiman, a boy who lives in the junior staff quarters at NTI. On the right is the French teacher from the NTI Staff primary school.

Suleiman and his friends seem quite keen, they’re quickly picking up how to control the kite. I’ve promised them that I’ll leave it with them when I return to the UK, which was my plan all along.
