Ran across this old newspaper clipping last night, thought it would be appropriate for one of our forum members to see...

I would seriously doubt that the kite was at 800ft!!! Sounds like a little imaginative altitude reckoning from the pilot, or maybe they're getting Above Ground Level and Above Sea Level mixed up? Neat article though!I walked across an empty land

I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Longest lines I fly on are 40m (about 130ish feet for you guys still in the dark ages!). The longer the lines the more drag and less control, and 40m is about the longest I would want - anything over 60m and you need approval from the CAA!I walked across an empty land
