First day of Spring and a shade warmer than of late, the low cloud gave a delayed start but with every expectation of a higher cloud base later we made a start.
Lined up and ready to go (John Street) |
The first two launches encountered cloud at 800ft so an early lunch was called, by the time we returned we were getting about 1,100ft. We had both K21s and a Junior out and Andrew Logan rigged and flew his glider as well.
Andrew Logan keen to fly after his Australian trip (John Street) |
All the launches were short except for Nick Harrison & John Street on their last flight managed to hang around in lift for 19 minutes caused by a bonfire about a mile upwind, Nick was practising flying from the back seat.
Redesigning a cone (John Street) |
Many thanks to James Smart, Jeff Taberham and Tim Petty for sorting out a shredded cable late in the day, also thanks must go to John Street for redesigning one of the marker cones! thanks also to Glenn Turpin for keeping some kind of order all day. 27 launches today - John Street.
