Training for Mongolia, September, 2008

Of the East coast of Canada, a clump of islands joined by long beaches sits at the mouth of the St, Laurence River. It's home to kilometres of hard packed beaches, which provide ideal conditions for land kiting.

We headed to the sand dunes, were a couple years ago Eric and I lived and thought kite bugging. This time we were there with Curtis, to train, and test equipment for our upcoming trip to Mongolia.

The big question mark was what type of buggy to use. We tested many, loading them up with extra weight. And also broke many! But we racked up the kilometers on the buggies, and took advantage of the beaches on the windless days. We left with a van full of sand, and a general feeling of a very accomplished training!
