Oops

Ballsed up whilst turning the glider round and managed to ground loop the glider on the front of the hill.  Fortunately no damaged done beyond some scuffing on the brand new noise cone.

And a quick couple of snaps for Andy

Dooh! Good day missed again

Was busy Sunday due to Church APCM.  Taka also came in the afternoon and wanted me to show him how to rig his new VRS.  Not sure he was that impressed with how much more long winded it was than his old VS.  The bit we found hardest was derigging, when we could not get both tip tubes back into the D cell.  In the end it looks like you have to lay the folding ribs differently to the VR just to fit them in! Should have taken a picture.  Perhaps I will save it for the first rig of my VR with the new sail.

Westbury - Saturday 30th November

Shocked to hear about Pete Coad and saddened I won't be able to share the hill with someone I've known since a teenager down in Devon.  This one's in your memory Pete...

There were some thermals about early on

Should have top landed while I had the chance

Harting - Saturday 23rd November

Ok the days are getting fewer and further between now but last saturday was excellent with thermals to 800' ATO. Tony jumped the Coking gap and got back again but only courtesy of some seagulls marking a climb in the middle of the gap.

Seems to be a sailplane express route around here

Malcolm joins me down the ridge

Now where's those clouds?

Love the view down that ridge
