Don't worry, I popped into Alton Water whilst doing some errands at lunchtime - the wind was surprisingly light and your boat was secure

Cheers,

Land-yachting around in Altons carpark?

Its a bit small .. but im sure it could be done!

(maybe even fit a windsurfing board under each side, and then go from land-yachting to ... well .. landsurfyachting? )

lol altons car park is a bit small... I was thinking the local field as thats only 2 mins away, and altons half an hour away so i wouldn't be able to get there after school!

 

edit -  I remeber one winter when some guys strapped a sail on a snow board and raced up and down the frozen entrance road towards the dam (before there were speed bumps LOL) and they were clocking over 25mph!!... yes, us suffolk folk let the fresh air get to our head
