Kiting expedition
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 7:43 pm
I always read of these kiting feats and expeditions and think: I fancy giving that a go.
The thing is, any open water long distance trip is only ever going to last so long and you really need a safety boat etc. I've known of people doing a long distance run on snow, but that sounds too cold for me. I was wondering if anyone has done a long distance trek over land. Is there anywhere in the world where you could travel maybe 500 miles over a week by kite. Maybe along a desert coast (west africa??) or in a desert itself with consistant winds. Carry a tent for sleeping in and take it pretty easy.
Not looking at pushing any extremes but covering a long distance by kite.
Any thoughts on possible places?? Or has it been done?
