AEOLIAN.CO.UK - Sunderland International Festival of Kites, Music and Dance

Sunderland International Festival of Kites, Music and Dance

Date: Saturday 2nd - Sunday 3rd July 2005
Location: Northern Area Playing Fields, Stephenson, Washington, Tyne and Wear
Organised by: Malcolm Goodman
Official website: www.sunderland-kites.co.uk

This was the 20th Sunderland International Festival of Kites, Music and Dance.

Guests not camping on the site stayed at the Campanile hotel where Jean-Denis Varlet laid on a superb spread of food adorned with an Airbow, Rokkaku's and a washed Parastorm buggy used in the recent Gobi desert crossing.

Slight drizzle on Saturday morning soon gave way to sunny and warm weather which lasted both days. This was in stark contrast to the wet conditions of 2004 when the festival had to be cancelled on the Saturday.

One highlight was the mass fly of Carl Robertshaw delta serpents on Sunday when nineteen filled the sky.

Below are three pages (100 photos) taken during the weekend.
