johnyev Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) Hi I'm new to this sport and could do with a harness to practice with a friends wing. sorted thanks for replies That said I could do with an old wing (knackered is fine as long as it will kite) then I could progress to practicing on me tod! Yes I know they are available for 80quid new but I'd prefer to put that towards gear. [b] they are not!!![/b] might even consider renting one??? any help would be appreciated Thanks J Edited February 19, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Can't help with renting one but a budget harness can be had from http://www.baileyaviation.com/ for about £50 so thats a few quid towards your other gear.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnyev Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Thanks Dan I've had a look but couldn't find them on the site maybe they don't do them any more? I'll call them tomorrow anyway Cheers J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I have been given a couple of such wings..... Both are out on loan at the moment, I am expecting one back soon...... Happy to lend you a wing, the harness will cost £100. (You will also need a helmet) Suggest cycle helmet for ground work. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

si_morts Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Ground handling harness I use is a scaffolders harness, which I um.... permantley borrowed. Works a treat.Found a scaffolders harness in an ebay shop for £30 brand new- where do you attatch the karabiners ? This could be a good way of getting a cheap ground handling harness, look at thread for picture. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Adjustable-Safety-Harness-Single-Rear-Anchor-Reg-EN361_W0QQitemZ220003030014QQihZ012QQcategoryZ50815QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendmeroundthehedge Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi Si, Mine is slightly different to that. It has a waistband with attachment points for my carabiners. Bendme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 There is a basic harness on ebay which may be a bargain for someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
