Sunday 17th Portmoak Chronicles


The long trip up north of the Haggis Curtain was relatively pain free for the expidition members who travelled on Friday and Saturday. Ron and Wooly however had another epic 11hr saga complete with having to get the fuselage of the ASH out of the trailer on the side of themotorway to get access to the spare wheel.

Sunday dawned with a fresh south westerly breeze but the cloudbase was down on the top of Bishop. By lunch the cloud had lifted and we all launched and spent a few hours alternatively blasting along Bishop and climbing in wave when gaps appeared in the cloud, and airbraking back down to the hill when the gaps closed in. Rain ended play and the gliders were parked up ready for tomorrow's fun.

The highlight of the day was JB senior being bollocked for slurping his gravy off his plate!
