Day 2 new site but iffy weather

Day canned again.  Poor Murray Brown has just called green flag after sumping his car on the way to the site.  Derig and an hours drive back to the base, might just have a free flight first.

And on the fifth day...

I'm stood in a field at the bottom of wenlock edge with Gordon and Mike having watched at least two gaggles go over and two other people landed close by.  Oh well can't win them all.

Scores update: Luke and Taka made goal for the rigids.  Well done like looks like we have a good team shaping up for France next week.

Several hours later again and I'm writing this in the jacuzzi.  Don't worry no photos will be provided.  Room service meal booked for 8:30 Nasi Goreng mmmmmm.  Just as well the Thistle is full of Land Rover and media types so they upgraded one of their regulars to a suite.

Ps Anyone know the name of Gordon's new friend?

 

And on the third day...we flew

So day three the wind has dropped to safe levels.  Forecast is not brilliant so we have ann set 90k Race to Anywhere.. and I've landed at a light aircraft strip at Stratford on Avon. At last a good day and I haven't bombed out in the bottom landing field.

And in the hanger is a pair of Yak's!

BOS round 2 Shropshire

So second competition of the season and it's raining. Which means I'm sat in the Shropshire hills discovery center having tea and cake. Maybe Monday it'll be flyable?

Out trophy maestro has remembered to return the oops! Trophy.  Which unfortunately means that I had to re-tell the little incident where I drove up to the top of Corndon only to realize I'd left my retrieve driver at the campsite oops!  Sorry sorry sorry dearest darling Wendy....

Begin at the begining

So the second BOS is rapidly approaching and the 2013 Annecy Pre-worlds are immediately afterwards.  The new harness has only had a 15 minute test flight and to cap it all I need to keep our team manager Ben Philpott happy so I've started a blog...
