Friday 23rd October

News from Talgarth
The day started gloomy at 0830, but by 0930 Simon and Mark launched the DG505, after an hour of low level ridge soaring, they came down to give the rest of the group a fly.
Henry was the next victim, who continues to improve and has really benefited from this week. Rain stopped play on that flight after just over an hour.
Further soaring flights throughout the afternoon saw the group regularly acquainting themselves with the hill walkers. The day was finished off by Mark 'greasing himself' into a K6 for late weak ridge soaring until almost dusk. On his landing he remarked 'it was like being strapped to a wing suit'. The North Hill gang packed up and left an empty airfield. - Jimbob
