Tales from North of the Haggis Curtain. 9th April

Portmoak Expedition April 2010

The group that made the strange decision to head north on Friday, subjecting themselves to horrendous traffic and many extra hours in the car were rewarded by a glorious afternoons flying in the light breeze that caressed the sun drenched western flanks of Bishop Hill.

The rest of the group arrived on saturday afternoon

and after a bit of minor panic when many realised that they had left copies of their medical certificates behind, Simon Leeson kindly came to the rescue and emailed copies for those that needed saving.

Sunday dawned with a bright sky and an easterly wind, which meant that gliders were rigged after a leisurely breakfast before committing aviation in the form of circuit bashing. Clive and Nick flew the Oly for the first time and the grins were indeed cheesy.

And just to rub it in.
