Fired up by the forecast wind of 290/20 and an EPIC Nympsfield ridge running day, Pete(230), JB(KJW) and Matt and Rowan with the DG set off early.
It proved to be a difficult ridge day especially South of the M4 where 3 Nympsfield locals landed out! It was a day of low scrapes, very tight ridge hugging and having faith, the difficulties being caused by wave interference and the wind backing more than forecast, but the flying was still great fun and I think Rowan definitely saw a different view of gliding and what is possible.
Attached are a couple of pics to give a flavour of the flying.
The other glider in the first picture(can you see it?) went into a field shortly after this was taken - and yes, THAT is the "ridge" behind!
Second picture shows Nympsfield ridge guru Trevor Stuart heading off down the ridge which is the waving tree line running up the centre of the picture.
Matt and Rowan climbing over the M4.
Thanks to all at Nympsfield.
